POPULAR TV presenter Emma Forbes was on hand to celebrate the reopening of TGI Friday's in High Wycombe.

The American-styled restaurant in Crest Road, Cressex, opened its doors again barely a month after fire damage forced it to close.

Ex-presenter of the BBC children's programme, Live and Kicking, Emma was joined at the celebrations by the first customer of the restaurant which opened in July 1996.

Trainee manager Charlotte Dennis said: "We keep a record of all our guests.

"We also invited anyone who phoned to make a booking while we were closed for repairs."

More than 100 people were invited to the relaunch party.

They included staff from TGI's head office and also the workforce who had carried out the refurbishments to the restaurant.
