Rod Stewart – actually Sir Rod Stewart – is a 77-year-old pop singer, so not the first person you’d expect to be picking up a shovel and chucking gravel into potholes, yet that’s exactly what he’s done.
@sirrodstewart Filling holes is good for the soul!
Filling holes is good for the soul – according to Sir Rod.
It’s a bit hard to make out, but this is most of what he said.
This is the state of the roads near where I live in Harlow, and it’s been like this for ages.
People are smashing their cars up. The other day, there was an ambulance with a burst tyre.
My Ferrari can’t go through here at all.
Me and the boys thought we’d come here and do it ourselves. So that’s what we’re doing.
Filling in the holes while millions and millions of pounds is spent on the M11.
Some TikTok users got a bit punny with their comments.
There were a few sceptics.
Jeremy Vine was impressed by the star’s pro-active attitude.
Who else loves Rod Stewart?

In case you were thinking of following his example, Essex County Council pointed out that anyone working on a public road could be liable for accidents caused by substandard work.
Sir Rod has yet to comment on the council’s warning. He doesn’t want to talk about it.
