Comedian Harry Hill stays at Powys hotel during latest tour
One of the UK's most popular comedians enjoyed a stay at a Powys hotel while in the area as part of his latest stand-up tour.
Harry Hill checked in at Mellington Hall Country House Hotel, near Churchstoke after appearing at The Hafren theatre in Newtown on Thursday (May 1).
Staff were excited to welcome the doctor-turned-comedian, who is best known for narrating ITV's You've Been Framed! and hosting Harry Hill's TV Burp.
The 60-year-old comic enjoyed a relaxing stay at the Grade II-listed 19th Century house set in beautiful, landscaped grounds with spectacular views of the Powys and Shropshire countryside.
Mellington Hall Country House Hotel owner Claire Evans said: "It was an absolute pleasure to have welcomed the hilarious TV personality Harry Hill and co who stayed with us last night at Mellington Hall following their gig in Newtown.
"Such genuine, amiable and friendly chaps who were happy to simply have a chat."
Harry had been performing in front of a packed show at The Hafren theatre in Newtown which the audience described as "hilarious" and "fabulous".
The 'New Bits and Greatest Hits' stand-up tour celebrates the comic's 60th birthday and almost 30-year career in comedy.

GMB star forced to seek medical attention after terrifying incident at protest
Good Morning Britain reporter Noel Phillips revealed he was left injured while reporting live from Los Angeles Good Morning Britain's own Noel Phillips has opened up about a distressing injury he sustained while covering the chaos live from Los Angeles, leading to his need for medical treatment. ITV's morning show returned on Tuesday (10 June) with co-hosts Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley taking charge of the broadcast. They connected with Noel, GMB's North America correspondent, through a video call as he has been covering the explosive riots in Los Angeles. Susanna queried Noel about his recent experience, stating: "You found yourself in the line of fire yesterday, didn't you? Just before your report at eight o'clock. "We had no idea at the time. We've seen a number of reporters, in fact you reported on one yesterday morning of a photographer who had been hit, what happened to you?" Detailing the harrowing event from Monday (9 June), Noel explained that he was struck by a rubber bullet while on assignment, reports the Manchester Evening News. "Susanna and Richard, just 10 minutes before coming on air yesterday, I was on the floor talking to several protesters. I was on the floor because it was the best place to be, given the fact that the situation around us was so volatile, officers were obviously chasing protestors on the streets," recounted Noel. He further described the moment of impact, saying: "As I was laying on the floor, I felt as though an enormous ton of bricks had fallen on my arm. I realised, within about 20 to 30 seconds, that a rubber bullet had grazed the top layer of my skin and had caused a bit of injury. "My arm was swollen, I went to the doctors, got it checked out, it wasn't broken at all. But, it was swollen, it still is swollen and it's in a bandage at the moment." Detailing his ordeal, Noel described how the chaotic scene underscored the "unpredictable" nature of current events in LA, expressing dismay that the police appear indifferent to whether one is a journalist—they're just intent on clearing the vicinity. For four consecutive days, LA has been embroiled in protests, with tensions escalating between demonstrators and law enforcement. Over the weekend, protestors took to the streets to rail against aggressive immigration policy measures, voicing support for detained immigrants' families who are desperate to secure the release of their relatives. Amidst this turmoil, President Donald Trump has called in the National Guard, flouting the objections of California Governor Gavin Newsom.
