FANS of a hit TV show will have their chance to meet a fallen star when he comes to town.

Actor Nicholas Brendon - who played Xander Harris in all 145 episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer - will be in Southampton for three hours only for a meet and greet event with fans.

The event at Millbrook's Tenpin bowling alley will give fans a chance to "hang out with Nicky, get a hug and create new friendships with other Buffy fans in your area in a very intimate setting."

They will also be able to "bowl and sing" with the actor - who appeared in the hit show from 1996 - 2003 alongside Sarah Michelle Gellar.

The event is part of the actor's "Kicking Depression" UK tour.

He has spoken openly in the past about his struggles with mental health and alcoholism.

Xander was known for lines like "I laugh in the face of danger and then I hide until it goes away."

While some fans might still love him for being Buffy's most faithful sidekick, one Buffy fan from Shirley who did not want to be named described the upcoming Millbrook event as "sad and desperate."

VIP tickets cost £100, while £60 will get you a "traditional, autograph / selfie experience."

Autographs, selfies, and video messages can be purchased (cash or credit) for an additional £40 each at the end of the evening.

The event is on November 29 on Auckland Road.
