Yesterday saw News Academy summer school students speak to the stars, with Kyle Farrell and Daunish Negargar interviewing TV presenter Stephen Mulhern in the News Studios.

Mulhern spoke about his fan base, his eating habits, and his new show, before revealing to the pair that he wouldn't eat a curry, even for £100,000.

Meanwhile Emily Dinsmore and Izzy Lyons also took time to pick the brains of The Sun editor-in-chief Tony Gallagher, following his session with the group on Monday.

Emily said " It was really fascinating to get an insight from the editor of Britain's best-selling newspaper and discuss a range of social and political issues along with how The Sun works. We feel really lucky to have had that opportunity".

This morning Jarrad Johnson spoke on Lincolnshire radio station Siren FM about his experience at the summer school so far. Recording from the News Studios, Jarrad thanked all the journalists who have taken their time to mentor the  students throughout the week and urged all aspiring journalists to get involved with the scheme.

The paper is now entering the subbing stage, as students prepare for it to roll off the presses at Broxbourne tomorrow.

Co-editor Susannah Keogh said "We have been having so much fun making the paper this week- it's been a crazy experience but very rewarding.  All our team have bylines and we are really looking forward to seeing our very own newspaper in print on Friday."
