MIDDLEWICH'S former mayor, Clr Ben Hart has been proving himself to be a quiz show king.

For the Middlewich High School teacher has recently taken a starring role in, not one, but two television game shows.

Clr Hart will be on our screens during autumn as a contestant on BBC's Playing For Time, presented by Eamon Holmes, and Channel 5's One To Win.

"I've had to sign various contracts so I'm not allowed to tell anyone how things went.

"But I will say that I didn't let Middlewich down."
