Staff at a cafe in Cornwall said they were left "a bit shell-shocked" after pop star Dua Lipa popped in for a coffee.

The Levitating singer visited Jordan's, which overlooks Marazion Beach and St Michael's Mount, multiple times last month, said owner Ben Jordan.

"It's not everyday a global superstar comes in the cafe," he said.

"We were all just a bit shell-shocked about it."

The singer, who had her first-ever headline slot at Glastonbury in June, posted a short video on Instagram in front of St Michael's Mount with a cup of coffee from Mr Jordan's shop.

Mr Jordan said staff initially did not believe it was the singer.

"It was a bit random," he said.

"She was in the day before getting a coffee and my daughter said it looked like Dua Lipa but, obviously, why would Dua Lipa be down in Cornwall buying a coffee in our cafe?

"So she kind of discounted it until she came in again and she recognised her tattoos after a Google search and that is how we knew."
