The Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth has recently been named the top destination that Brits are looking forward to visiting the most. If you’re one of them, these facts are interesting to know before taking a trip…
1. Sail away
The name and shape of the tower comes from the type of sail that balloons as the wind blows into it – fitting as Portsmouth is well-known for its boating history.
2. Taking the cake
High tea is a popular partaking at the tower, so popular in fact that over the last 10 years they have served approximately 382,720 slices of cake there.

How does it feel to be finally bringing your show Bloods to the screen?
I’m so excited! It’s so timely, especially in the world that we’re in at the moment, and to be able to create it with a friend of mine, Nathan Bryon, just makes it all that sweeter.
Where did the inspiration come from?
Until May 5
