ULVERSTON Victoria High School teacher Ady Pierce made an appearance on prime-time television show Ninja Warrior UK.

The PE teacher, from Barrow, made the cut from thousands of applicants to try to complete the ITV obstacle course.

Unfortunately for Mr Pierce, he was disqualified just over a minute into his attempt when he touched an out-of-bounds metal chain while climbing a series of suspended pipes.
