Ruddy, 48 from Wymondham, said: "It feels great.

"To me this seems like the next logical step to showing off my art on social media.

"I wanted to have an exhibition here when it first opened but Covid got in the way, so to get it finally organised and up is really nice.

"I've got a wall of 'muddy' art which is mainly my tributes and a couple more boards with my paintings on.

"There's also a collaboration with Johno combining our skillsets."

Ruddy has more plans to show off his skill in the future, adding: "I'm hoping to do some demos in there - getting a few van doors up and creating some live pieces.

"I've had a couple of pieces shown off before but this is the first time having an exhibition dedicated to me and my work.

"Harrods are great at promoting new artists and I hope this paves the way for more exhibitions in the future."
