Peter fosters the cute woodland creatures on behalf of Herby Hedgehog Emergency Rescue in Bingley.

He made headlines last year when he donated his £1,000 winnings from Channel 4 show Come Dine With Me to the rescue centre. Now Peter is set to make a return to the pages of the YEP, with his wildlife work featuring as the subject of a special photo essay in tomorrow’s edition of the paper.
