Comedian Pete Davidson has been spotted in Cairns with high-profile girlfriend Kim Kardashian, dining at Edge Hill cafes and frequenting arcades.

Taking to Botanica Edge Hill for breakfast on Thursday morning, the celeb couple are in the region as Davidson films new movie Wizards! in the Daintree.

His co-star Orlando Bloom and popster partner Katy Perry touched down at Cairns Airport on Wednesday afternoon.

CEO of Tourism Port Douglas Daintree Tara Bennett said having global celebrities in the region “certainly helps” boost tourism as it gets back on its feet.

“Having these famous names in the Far North helps raise the profile of our destination, showcasing the wilderness, experiences and values we offer to a global audience,” she said.

“It’s very exciting and we hope they find some time outside filming to experience the wonderful opportunities we offer.

“Port Douglas and the Daintree from the early days have had a reputation of respecting celebrity privacy and giving the opportunity to enjoy their space, so I hope nothing changes in that regard.”

A worker at nearby Edge Hill business NOA said she heard of the couple’s appearance in the suburb while having breakfast at Botanica but didn’t see anything herself.

“I think if heaps of people knew it would be too much excitement, they’re extremely famous and not many people of that level come through Cairns,” she said.

“It would be amazing if they did come back and dine at NOA, I think we’re one of the nicer placers in town and it would be brilliant to serve them here.”

The invites kept coming for the famous couple, with local sporting team the JCU Mariners have taken it upon themselves to extend a warm Queensland welcome to the Far North’s newest locals, sliding into the DMs of Kardashian with an invite to the club’s clash with Barron Trinity Bulls on Saturday.

“Just looking to see if you wanted to come down to Ivanhoes Sports Complex this Saturday at 4pm and watch the boys take on the Barron Bulls at Rugby Union, which I’m sure will be a thriller,” the message read, which was posted on the Mariners’ Facebook page.

Celeb spotters were buzzing after seeing the former Saturday Night Live star in Timezone on Abbott St on Wednesday night.

A witness at the venue said the celeb mingled with other patrons who took their chance to pose up with the comedian, but was mostly left alone by staff members.

Actor Orlando Bloom and pop star Katy Perry were also confirmed to have touched down in the Far North on Wednesday afternoon with Mr Bloom set to join Mr Davidson on the set of Wizards.

The pair flew into the region with their daughter Daisy Dove and were expected to be staying in Australia for three months while the movie is being filmed.
