A waiter from Manchester is set to swap carrying plates to throwing them as he hits our screens in the latest series of The Great Pottery Throw Down, which starts tonight.
Vithu Karunakaran, aged 29, is the only Mancunian on the show this year, which will see 12 amateur potters battle it out to be crowned master potter at the end of the sixth season.
The bartender and waiter said he ‘found something special’ in pottery, and draws inspiration from his strong Sri Lankan heritage and Mancunan culture in his work.
