I went to see Tom Bridge last September at the BBC Good Food Show and I was so proud of the way he spoke of Bolton. He is a great ambassador for the North and a really fun chef.

Having him in the BEN every week will really bring some light into our household.

I remember his motherat the Gypsy's Tent. Her name was Nellie and she always made a hot pot better than that on Coronation Street. She must be so proud of him and deservedly so.

Thank you BEN for giving us ladies something special.
