TELEVISION presenter Daniel Pallett proved extremely popular at a school presentation evening.

The BBC Midlands Today sports reporter was mobbed by students at Arrow Vale High School wanting his autograph following last Wednesday night's awards ceremony.

Mr Pallett, a former Redditch Advertiser reporter, handed out certificates to the pupils who had made the most outstanding achievements. He also talked about his career and answered questions.

Deputy headteacher Roger Satterthwaite said: "He was a huge success and had to stay later than expected because of the large number of autographs he was asked for."
