A HEREFORD man with a good ear found himself £25,000 richer.

Jason Payne, aged 31, from Hunderton, won the cash prize when he correctly identified a secret sound on a radio show.

The subtle noise of a lace being pulled from a shoe had baffled Radio Wyvern listeners, but Jason used his excellent hearing to snap up the winnings.

Jason will donate some of the money to the Guide Dogs Association and use the rest to visit his brother in Orlando, America.
