Consett-born comedian Lee Ridley joined Robson Green for his Weekend Escapes show and revealed people were "more comfortable" to talk to him as a disabled person after he won Britain's Got Talent.
The pair went for a stroll around the former Derwent Valley railway line, before sailing around the Derwent Reservoir in Thursday's instalment of the BBC show.
Better known as Lost Voice Guy, Lee captured the hearts of the nation with his unique routines on the 12th season of Britain's Got Talent - going on to win the show in 2018.
