jim irvine is the farmer who discovered the mosiac and has been speaking to us about how we came to discoverin a bit of digging, not literally, but a bit of digging, not literally, but a bit of investigation and i spotted a really interesting crop art in the field and it went from there. when the crop was harvested i went back with a spade and started to explore this a bit and i came across the pavement as it is and it went on from there. it is about seven metres across, ten metres long so it is a large individual room in a building complex of many rooms. the layout and location probably indicate it might have been a working farm with a nice house attached to it. the room format itself, this amazing mosaic on the ground, which is obviously telling a story. you can imagine these guys having dinner and talking about the story and showing off to their friends about greek history. richard madeley has left the itv show "i'm a celebrity, get me out of here". the 65—year—old presenter was forced to pull out after being taken to hospital this morning. writing on instagram, madeley explained that alt
