Two friends were kicked out of a shopping centre - because staff said they were not 'suitably' dressed in Halloween costumes, they claim.

Comedy actors Chris Cole and Paul Fox claim eight security officers forced them out of Bluewater shopping centre in Greenhithe, Kent, when they turned up in devil and vampire costumes.

Footage filmed by the pair shows an officer telling them his “control room have deemed it not really suitable” for the “family shopping centre”.

The security worker is seen being quizzed by the duo on what the “problem” is, to which he replies “there isn’t one” before calmly relaying the initial instruction from his bosses for them to leave.
