While Lucas Johnston, 18, from Oxfordshire, instantly identified his idol and greeted him warmly with “How are you, boss?”

Following the reveal, Tom presented lucky shoppers with VIP tickets to an exclusive gig which will take place later this month.

Tom, whose new album 'Everywhere I Went, Led Me to Where I Didn't Want to Be' is released in August, said: “Teaming up with popchips to give back a little joy to the people who have supported me from day one was amazing.

“Coming back to my hometown, where it all started for me, and pulling off this surprise for my fans was so special. I’ve got so many fond memories here.”
