Changing Rooms star to face wildlife park trial

A TV presenter-turned-wildlife park owner who denies breaching health and safety regulations at the animal attraction will stand trial with her husband next month.

Celebrity interior designer Anna Ryder Richardson, 48, is accused of serious breaches which sent a mother and son to hospital.

She appeared with husband Colin MacDougall, 46, at Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court yesterday where their case was sent to crown court for trial.

The couple own, jointly run and live at the Manor House Wildlife Park, in St Florence, near Tenby, west Wales.

They appeared at the same court last month where they each denied two separate alleged breaches. Their jointly owned company, Manor House Wildlife Park Ltd, also denies two breaches of health and safety legislation.

The couple appeared briefly in court yesterday and each spoke only to confirm their names, ages and address. Ryder Richardson made her name on the BBC’s popular makeover show Changing Rooms.
