Ed could also be seen in series two of the smash hit fantasy drama series Game of Thrones.

He also took a little time to explain the origin of his name. He explains: “It is a bit bogus really. The family’s original name was Pole, going back to the Norman conquest.

“My great-grandfather did some genealogical research and unearthed a connection to the royal house of Tudor and was added with the complete surname thereafter becoming Tudor-Pole.

It starts at 8.30pm in the North Bar Pub.
