And The Dome's famous split-level ice rink was also given a spot of nationwide publicity by radio and TV celebrity Lauren Layfield as she took part in tea time quiz Bridge Of Lies on BBC1 on Saturday night.

The show, which sees contestants having to determine between true and false answers in a bid to win money, tasked Lauren with naming UK cities north of the Watford Gap, the service station that denotes the diving line between northern and southern England.

Faced with a choice of Birmingha, Doncaster, St Asaph or Oxford, the Heart FM presenter correctly plumped for our city, telling host Ross Kemp: “Doncaster is not far from York where my other half is from.

"It’s got a good ice rink in Doncaster, I think. I’m going to go for Doncaster.”
