Football stadiums in UK are notorious celebrity spotting spots.
And Craven Cottage in particular has become something of a magnet for famous faces.
Actor Hugh Grant is a regular at the Cottage, while TV presenter Richard Osman has been spotted on several occasions.
Emmy-winning actor Stanley Tucci was also present chilling in the Riverside Stand when Fulham beat Spurs 2-1 few days ago.
Food influencer John Fisher, better known online as Big John or the Boshfather, became the latest celebrity to visit Crave Cottage last night.
Big John was spotted eating a full Chinese takeaway in the stands as Fulham lost to West Ham United.
The 52-year-old had already revealed himself eating a sumptuous hotdog in a pre-match video.

Many followers expressed genuine delight, seeing an authentic personality in a sea of polished influencer content.
Others, however, used the footage as a renewed opportunity to target his weight –
Big John wasted no time in hitting back at his detractors directly on X.
It is the kind of response you expect from a man who has consistently refused to let online negativity define him –
Dan are you ok mate ? Not sure why you think I’m a celebrity but happy to discuss face to face anytime sir

I ate a hot dog sausage and a plate of Chinese food all day and night. The way people are acting you would think I had eaten a whole supermarket. Bosh. pic.twitter.com/cxqQgDdVvq

The criticism comes when Big John is actively working on his health.
He has reportedly lost over 35kg — roughly 5.5 stone — as part of an ongoing weight loss effort being monitored by his GP.
He has now taken up padel as part of his fitness regime.

Big John’s transformation has won widespread admiration from fans who see him as a genuine inspiration — a bloke who still enjoys his Chinese on a Wednesday night but is putting in the work to look after himself at the same time.
