I was recently in my home town of Stoke-on-Trent to present an award at the Our Heroes event – run by the newspaper for the region, The Evening Sentinel. I am on the judging panel for the Awards and it’s always a tough job to pick out the winners from the many nominations.
I’m pictured here with mental health specialist Sarah Wilshaw who was a runner up in the Hero of the NHS category.
This is me with star of stage and screen Jonathan Wilkes. He is a fellow ‘Potter’ and in fact we met some 15 years ago in Brighton in Panto. He was playing the part of Aladdin, Gary was Abanazar and I was the Genie of the Ring. Having said that we were all upstaged by Mr Blobby who was the true star of the show!!
