Marilyn Hamblett, from the Ladybirds, said: “It was a great night and as ever it was great to be able to raise such a fantastic amount for our local hospice. It is a vital local charity and we are all very proud to support the valuable work that they do. We will continue to raise funds for the hospice.”

Anna Campbell from Anna Campbell Hairdressing,did the makeover for two of the models, and Nicola Moreland from Forever Beautiful handled make-up.

Hospice official Janice Forbes praised the Ladybirds as “a great group of ladies who have been fundraising for the hospice since they formed in 2013” and thanked everyone who supported the show.
