The son of two nineties icons from the worlds of music and sport has been elected as a Labour councillor. James Small-Edwards is certain to have made mum Heather Small and dad Shaun Edwards proud, after he became a new member of City of Westminster council.

He wrote on Twitter: "Absolutely delighted to have won Bayswater from the Conservatives, turning the ward red for the first time since the 1980s. Thanks so much to my family, friends and fellow candidates for all the love and support over the past few months!"
