The Great Pottery Throw Down judge Keith Brymer Jones has told how he and his partner are to marry in their north Wales chapel home after he proposed to her "on Welsh soil".

Jones said he and actor Marj Hogarth, who are renovating a Grade II-listed chapel in Pwllheli, were on tour "and I just thought I ought to really propose to her on Welsh soil".

He proposed during their show at the New Theatre in Cardiff, and "the idea is to get married in the main hall some time in May of next year".

The ceramicist also said there were a lot of derelict chapels across Wales and "we need to repurpose these buildings and give them a new lease of life".

Jones has previously said he felt the move to Wales was like coming back to his "roots", as his parents were from Swansea and Cardiff.

He said Wales had inspired him to get into ceramics, with his mum having had a passion for pottery too.

He told BBC Radio Wales that he remembered driving down Welsh country lanes in search of pottery when he was growing up.
