PAEDOPHILE weatherman Fred Talbot has been seen shopping at Waitrose after being freed early from his sentence for abusing boys.

The disgraced ex-biology teacher was jailed for five years in 2015 after being convicted of indecent exposure.

The offences took place on two boys at Altrincham Grammar School for Boys in Greater Manchester, prior to his stint at ITV.

Talbot was then handed a further four years in 2016 for abusing seven on camping trips.

But the former ITV weatherman was today seen walking with a trolley full of shopping outside a Waitrose store in the north west of England.

Talbot was seen wearing a knitted blue jumper and blue jeans.

It comes after he was released from prison in December 2019.

At the time he was jailed, Talbot had become famed for giving forecasts on This Morning while leaping around on a large floating map of the UK and Ireland.

In June last year, a whistleblower who alerted police to the paedophile's past blasted ITV for failing to investigate complaints.

The woman was the first to tip-off cops to Talbot’s sex crimes after a friend told her he was abused as a boy at the school.

When detectives called him, it emerged he had gone to the channel to raise concerns about Talbot and had been ignored.
