GLAMOUR girl Gemma Lauren has been helping launch a new horse racing club - by becoming the face of their new calendar.

Gemma, from Blackburn, stars in a charity calendar being used to market The Glamour Girls Racing Club, which will be launched in Lambourn, Berkshire, on December 19.

The 20-year-old, whose real name is Gemma Heywood, has been modelling since she was 16 and fitted the bill perfectly for the role, having been a keen horse rider in her younger years.

The new club aims to provide members with a chance to watch horses run and also monitor each horse's progress with regular stable visits and contact with trainers and jockeys.

Gemma will be patron of the club, which also includes a social side involving girls from the glamour modelling circuit.
