Andy Bell flogs bread to The Cheeky Girls

Erasure man reveals top secret secondary career

Andy Bell flogs bread to The Cheeky Girls

Erasure's Andy Bell has revealed a secret second career: baker to The Cheeky Girls.

In fact the singer's secondary occupation is so secret the identical twin duo don't actually know it's a fellow pop star who is flogging them bread.

The Erasure man told Thequietus.com about his hobby and his well-known customers.

"I help out at this market stall in Rye and we get The Cheeky Girls coming to buy bread," he explained. "They haven't got a clue who I am, I was thinking that hopefully the penny might drop because they've seen me on TV or something.

"How sad I am - I thought maybe I should make them a CD of suggestions of songs that would be good for their voice. Some people do recognise me when I'm working on the stall, and they think that I'm not making music anymore and that's my new thing."
