Impressionist Alistair McGowan swept to victory in Celebrity Mastermind providing a useful boost just in time for a south Shropshire charity
Mr McGowan's naming of the The British Hedgehog Preservation Society as the cause he supports during the show broadcast on Friday has been welcomed by the charity that is based near Ludlow.
Fay Vass, the BHPS chief executive, said:"We were delighted that Alistair decided to support the charity and it was the icing on the cake that he won. Fay added that Mr McGowan had also made a video for the charity that would be shared on its social media channels during awareness week, including a few impressions too!
The charity hopes that people will check their gardens for hedgehogs before using implements like strimmers which can do an awful lot of damage to the bodies of the tiny critters.
