TV CHAT show king Sir Michael Parkinson is returning to his roots to become guest editor of the Barnsley Chronicle for one week only.

Cudworth-born Michael will take over the editor's chair from Monday September 29.

Michael will be the latest person to take on the guest editor role – last year, Radio Sheffield presenter Toby Foster stood in for editor Andrew Harrod.

Earlier this year, Sunday Times best-selling author Milly Johnson also took the job on.
