TWO Preston shopworkers are feeling the chill after having their lovely locks shaved off for charity.

Staff and customers at Sainsburys, in Deepdale, raised a smile as they watched Claire Hayhurst and Shelagh Nixon have their hair cut off by fellow employees. The stunt is expected to raise more than £700 for Comic Relief.

Claire has decided to escape the gaze of bemused colleagues by jetting off to Disneyland for a fortnight - giving her hair chance to start growing back before she returns to work.
