Politicans have voiced their support for Elstree Studios after a tour of the site.

Hertsmere MP James Clappison, MEP Vicky Ford, Hertsmere Borough Council leader Councillor Morris Bright and town Mayor Clive Butchins visited the “unique” site this week.

They were shown round by managing director Roger Morris, where they visited the set of the latest TV show Your Face Sounds Familiar, as well as being shown the outside of the Big Brother House.

Ms Ford said: “Elstree is a unique place, it is at the heart of our world-famous creative industries which are worth billions to the UK economy.”
