PUPILS at an Accrington school have been strutting their stuff on the catwalk in a bid to be selected to model in a fashion show.

More than 20 youngsters from Mount Carmel High School auditioned for a spot on a fundraising event where a top talent spotter will put them through their paces.

The show takes place on November 15, with VIP guests including Coronation Street stars Nikki Sanderson, who plays Candice, and Ryan Thomas, alias Jason.

Also present will be hairstylist Freddie, from Freddie's Hair International, and GMTV style guru Armand Beasley, who is also a talent spotter for a top model agency.

Guests will be able to bid for auction lots including a photo of Muhammad Ali and the Beatles signed by the legendary heavyweight boxer, and a signed photograph of David Beckham.

There will also be a raffle, £1 a ticket, with a prize of vouchers for Freddie's Hair International, clothes vouchers for Sunday Best, of Rawtenstall, and a pair of Gucci sunglasses.

Tickets for the bash are £10, £25, or £40

Proceeds will go towards the £50,000 the school has to raise for its bid to become a science college. For details call the school on 01254 233458.
