    Bennell used to have a home in Derbyshire and worked with a number of youth clubs in the county.

    Victims who'd been coached by Bennell as boys told how he had a "power hold" over them as they dreamed of becoming professional footballers.

    She told BBC Radio Leicester that she'd always been a fan of running and competing in the London Marathon was something "on her bucket list".

    Blocked Drain

    Sarah O'Kane from Severn Trent Water says they're an issue because "they get caught up with other rubbish" that shouldn't be in the drains.

    "It's totally avoidable, just put them in the bin, then you're solving heartache for a lot of people."

    This is the start of the game and the players compete for either the Up'Ards or the the Down'Ards - depending on whether players were born north or south of the River Henmore.

    There are few rules to the game, which has been played since at least the 17th Century, but players try to move the ball to posts at opposing sides of the town, three miles apart.

    The ball is "goaled" by banging it against the posts three times.

    Judges collectively watched 200 pantos to come up with the shortlist which includes performances that took place in the London Palladium and Birmingham Hippodrome.

    It also has been nominated for best special effect, staging and script.

    Morgan Brind, who helped produce the show said: “I’m very excited and flattered to be nominated for these awards, particularly as it truly is a team effort. A script is only as funny as the people saying it and the set design is only as good as the talented craftspeople who build and paint it."

    The winners will be announced in April.
