Art show winner set to put Norton in National Gallery

Gareth Reid has won a career-enhancing commission to paint chat show host Graham Norton, with the end product to hang in the National Gallery of Ireland.

The newly crowned Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year, who stepped up to his easel and beat 54 other artists to win a £10,000 (€11,500) prize, discovered through the show that he is actually related to his subject.

After meeting Mr Norton for the first time to begin painting his portrait, he found they share family from Ballymena.
