Since January, Tom Daley (Olympic Diver and OPM), Christophe Ridley (Premiership Rugby Union Referee), Heather Knight (England Women’s Cricket Captain), John Hannah (Film, television and stage actor),Tom Pursglove (Conservative MP), David Pond OBE (retired Navy Commodore and CEO of GB Wheelchair Rugby), Jacquie Bird (ITV Westcountry News Reporter) and Pete
