GAVIN and Stacey star Larry Lamb was given a warm welcome when he visited South Yorkshire.

The 66-year-old actor, known for his role as Mick in the hit comedy and for playing evil Archie Mitchell in EastEnders, was at Penistone Paramount to film for BBC programme The One Show.

Lamb was presenting a piece about a tightrope artist from Maltby, Rotherham, using the Paramount as a backdrop.
