‘Got to love a Timpsons!… I’m intrigued to know why the shoe repair shop made it into your photographs, great repair shop that it is! I’m sure your beautiful heels don’t need re-heeling’.

And a third commented: ‘I love that your favourite little shop is a Timpsons (shoe repairs, key cutting, engraving, etc.). They are everywhere in the UK and have a brilliant employment scheme. 

‘Ex-servicemen and ex-cons and they always seem to be ethically run I’ve never had bad service from any of them.’

Another fan joked she would have ‘died from shock’ if she had seen the actress in her local branch.

She said: ‘If I had seen you in my local Timpsons at High St Ken – of all the shops in London – SJP I think I would have died from shock.’

It comes after Sarah missed out on this year’s glamorous Met Gala in New York City, after explaining she was jetting out of the country the night it was held.

It would have marked her 11th year at the event, however after sharing a snap of herself eating pizza in New York, the actress revealed that she was giving it a miss.
