Kev, who sells card machines to merchants services, was an instant hit with viewers when he admitted he had never switched on an oven before. And the moment he shoved a whisk into his mouth became an iconic moment in television.

It earned Kev, who lives with his wife Rachel and their children, Millie, Ritchie and Aria, the nickname 'the whisk guy' and the image has appeared regularly on the internet and even on merchandise including bedding. And now it has made it to Glastonbury for thousands of music lovers to see.

Kev said: "I've never been to Glastonbury but now I can say I have appeared on the main stage."

Also flying the flag for her hometown is Burnley’s talented singer Cody Frost who is appearing on the BBC Introducing Stage tomorrow.
