SEVEN lovely ladies took part in a contest to find Blackburn's most beautiful clubber.

Winner Linda Marie Chambers, of Blackburn, posed in a bikini and evening wear to win the first heat.

Rock FM presenters Glen Hunt, Danny Bee and Phil Poole judged the Spring Babe contest at Utopia nightclub and awarded Linda, 19, first prize of a free mobile phone, champagne, ice-skating tickets, and nightclub tickets.

Melissa Taylor, of Accrington, and Roxi Gregory, of Blackburn, both 19, came second and third.

Organiser Becky Salisbury said: "Linda won because she was very outgoing."

The next heats will be held on Friday and the winner will join Linda at the national finals in summer, with a star prize of £3,000. To take part, call 01254 662662.
