A TV PRISON boss swapped life within those walls for fun and games in the North-East at the weekend.
Bad Girls governor Neil Grayling, alias Stockton-born actor James Gaddas, was to be found enjoying a stroll in the park in his native Teesside.
Mr Gaddas took a break from life inside HM Prison Larkhall to launch a fun day in Thornaby's Victoria Park.
The event was celebrating renovation work and the completion of a memorial garden for Old Thornaby Residents' Association.
Mr Gaddas is standing as the Conservative candidate for the Stockton South ward in the next parliamentary elections, when he will try to dislodge incumbent MP, Labour's Dari Taylor.
