He was seen today with a film crew on Bridge 92 of the Shropshire Union Canal, next to Nantwich Canal Centre, close to his former school.
He was wearing a black winter jacket and chinos, along with sunglasses to protect him from the days bright sunny weather.
He was accompanied by a director, camera operator, and a member of the crew holding a light reflector.
Although not confirmed, it is thought that he was filming a history programme for Channel 5 focusing on historic towns in the North West like Nantwich.
