Congratulations to St Albans pantomime celebrity Bob Golding for winning a national award this week.

For the fourth episode of the children’s news series produced by the Herts Ad, local reporters talk about his achievement.

The Alban Arena patron won Best Supporting Male at the prestigious 2019 Great British Pantomime Awards for his performance as Dandini in Cinderella at Christmas.

NewsHound is a fortnightly series which explains some St Albans and Harpenden news stories in a digestible format for children.

It is designed to engage youngsters in local news and inform them about their home city.

Previous episodes have focused on Storm Gareth, the mystery of the St Albans Big Cat, and the UK’s Strongest Kid competition.

The Herts Ad would like to encourage any budding reporters to send in their own clips for inclusion in NewsHound. Raw and uncut footage is perfectly acceptable – Herts Ad reporters will tidy it up.

Additionally, any schools which might be interested in getting involved should contact HertsAd@Archant.co.uk.
