MANY people claim pop stars are manufactured, but that was very much the case during a visit to Swindon by performers at the weekend.

The Lego Friends Pop Star Bus rocked up at the Greenbridge Argos store on Sunday as part of its UK tour.

“Swindon fans of the Lego Friends range were able to jump on board the tour bus to experience the excitement for themselves,” said a Lego spokesman.

“Not only could they get hands on with the latest sets and get to know the newest character in Heartlake City, pop starlet Livi, but there was a whole bus packed full of fun activities that bring the pop star dream to life.”

On arrival, fans posed for photos with the paparazzi, before meeting their host and getting on board where they were treated to face, hand or arm glitter tattoos and were able to build and create with the new Pop Stars-themed sets.
