A BEAUTY pageant hopeful has her sights firmly set on the Miss Wigan final after a successful charity night.

Charlotte Rowe, from Leigh raised £716 at a charity evening and raffle at Lowton Social Club.

The 22-year-old, who has raised £735 so far, will be going head to head in the final of the competition on Saturday at the Britannia Hotel in Standish and is only girl from Leigh in the running.

The girls will be judged on their catwalk performance in sportswear, partywear, eveningwear and ecowear outfit – a round in which they will make their own dresses. The winner will also be entered into the Miss England competition.

Miss Rowe, who works for Sainsbury's in Leigh said: "The charity night was brilliant, we had a full room and even ran out of chairs — everyone really enjoyed themselves.

"I'm so unsure as to whether I could win because I've never done anything like this before.

"All the girls are very dedicated and work really hard. I think together as a whole we have all raised a lot of money for the charity.

"The whole town has been so supportive and it's about time little Leigh had some good news."
