An Edinburgh taxi driver says he gave Courteney Cox a free ride in exchange for a photo with the Friends star.
The A-list actress jumped into his cab with her Snow Patrol singer boyfriend Johnny McDaid last night.
In his first radio interview Fraser Ogilvie told Radio Forth News the couple were on their way to the city's west end.
Fraser said it was just by chance he was driving past the celebrities' hotel: "I got a hand out from the concierge from the hotel.
"The concierge comes running up to the window and says 'you've got Courteney Cox' and I went 'Aye, good one mate' and then she jumped into the back of the taxi.
"I just went 'what you doing tonight?' and the male who was with her went 'Snow Patrol are playing at The Usher Hall' and I went 'I'm not taking any money for this - my wife's a big Friends fan, if I didn't get a picture, she would kill me.'
"I asked the guy to take the picture. Once I'd got the guy to take the picture, I realised it was actually the guy from Snow Patrol."
