Excitement is mounting as Ruddington’s most famous park runner continues to progress in a top-rated, national, television contest. Stef Reid MBE, a track and field paralympian who competes for Team GB, has become one of the big stars of the fourteenth series of ITV’s ‘Dancing on Ice’.

Pointless Duo Return!

28th May 201730th May 2017 Graham Wright

Ruddingtonians will get to see our local “Pointless” stars AGAIN – after they reached the “Head to Head” stage of the popular BBC TV quiz presented by Alexander Armstrong and Richard Osman on Friday. Father and daughter David and Megan McFarlane low-scored their way through to the penultimate round against Matilda and Amanda. But their opponents got to play first in a set of options about “Short Stories and Novellas” – and stole the lowest scoring answer! Consequently David & Megan missed out on the potential jackpot of £6,500 – but it meant the duo had another chance to compete. We can see their…

Amazing Grace

Ruddington’s Grace Hardy has just missed out on being crowned “Miss Nottingham 2017”. Having become one of the top 10 finalists out of 19 women originally competing at this year’s contest, the 19 year old student came an impressive THIRD in Sunday night’s glitzy ceremony held at The Village Hotel in Beeston. The second runner-up was Chloe Adkin from Sutton-In-Ashfield. But it was 16 year old Nottingham student Maisie Hobbs who was crowned Miss Nottingham this year – becoming the youngest ever winner! Maisie wins £250, along with a host of other prizes, as well…
