TWO members of male dance troupe The Chippendales watched the paper being printed and put a smile on the face of the female staff when they visited the Daily Echo’s Redbridge offices yesterday.

It was the first stop in Southampton for Lind Walter and Alex Castillo, who are appearing at The Mayflower in the ultimate girls’ night out until Saturday.

Alex added: “We’ve got loads of energy and we’ll be doing our best to please the girls of Southampton this week.”
