A FATHER-OF-TWO who designed a phone application to help parents find their lost children on holiday is waiting to hear if he has scooped thousands of pounds to get the idea off the ground.

Paul Nunn, of Dickenson Road, Colchester, is one of ten finalists chosen from more than 160 entries to face a specially chosen panel in the Essex-based Who Wants to be a Miller on Air competition.

If his idea is judged the best then he will get up to £100,000 to make his dream come true.
