The star of the original Happy Days series Henry Winkler dropped into an American diner at Bluewater as the venue backed a new musical based on the sitcom.

The legendary Fonz actor and charity campaigner stopped at Ed’s Diner to line up alongside the show’s cast of ex-Emmerdale actor Ben Freeman as Fonzie, Sugababes star Heidi Range as Pinky Tuscadero and Bucks Fizz singer Cheryl Baker as Mrs. Cunningham.

The retro restaurant is launching a themed menu to mark its partnership with Happy Days – A New Musical, which launched at Bromley’s Churchill Theatre in January.

The tour comes to Dartford’s Orchard Theatre and Canterbury’s Marlowe Theatre this month.

Diners can try the Fonzie Burger and Potsie Burger as well as a chilli-loaded Ralph Malph Dog and Pinky’s Griddled Chicken Fillet.
