A young boy from Monmouthshire has been crowned the World Puddle Jumping champion for 2020.

Three-year-old Theo Burkitt-Watkins, from Goytre, impressed the judges with the height of his jump, his enthusiasm and the distance of his splash, overcoming competitors from as far afield as Australia.

The World Puddle Jumping Championships usually take place in Wicksteed Park, Kettering, Northamptonshire - but were virtual this year due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
