    It followed a session on Dean Jackson's The Beat in BBC Nottingham in December 2010.

    "I remember playing a session, it was an amazing feeling - someone taking the time to appreciate your music and to give you the air time," he said.

    But he wasn't the first Bugg to play on the show.

    "Dean played my mum and dad, I think the band was called Heaven's Blue or something. Not really my thing, more pop side of that time,"

    "Amazing that Dean's played me, my mum and dad, my cousin's band... it's in the family for sure."

    However, despite speculation linking him with moves to clubs including Roma, the Algerian ended up staying in the East Midlands.

    Leicester boss Claude Puel suggested earlier this month that it would cost a club "even more than £100m" to prise the Algerian away from the King Power.

    Ashwin Daudia claims he "lost control" after Kiran Daudia (pictured) started hitting, kicking, swearing and shouting at him, and denies murdering her.

    However, the prosecution argue that the 51-year-old deliberately killed her then "coolly" disposed of her body.

    Mr Daudia said: "I do not remember what was happening, just that I tried to stop her talking."

    William Harbage QC, prosecuting, said: "It's rather more than just stopping her talking. You strangled her until she was dead."

    The trial continues.

    In October, some people living in Long Eaton, complained about wide-ranging valuations of the same property.

    Speaking in the Commons, MP Maggie Throup, whose Erewash constituency includes the town, said: "We may get there in the end with compensation...but it takes so long."

    Transport secretary Chris Grayling said his department was working as fast as it could to finalise the East Midlands leg of HS2.

    He added that the government would be doing everything it could to "minimise the impact" on residents.
