After seeing how the treats are made and chatting to the employees, he was given his own personal box of sweets — Harry Mix, made up of jelly sweets in the mould of his face.

“You guys have got far too much time on your hands,” Harry told the staff as they presented his gift.

“Thank you very, very much. I will do my best to either eat them or… it may be a bit weird sharing these,” he joked.

“Fantastic. I’m sure I’ll never hear the end of it,” Harry quipped.
