A MODEL from Rossendale received the ultimate TV accolade when she guested on last night's Friday Night with Jonathan Ross.

Agyness Deyn - real name Laura Hollins - joined fellow guests Oscar-winning actor Forest Whittaker and perennial entertainer Bruce Forsyth on his 80th birthday.

The model was first discovered when she worked at Stubbins' Village Chippy in 1998 and went on to win the face of Rossendale modelling contest the following year.

The young Lancashire lass has blossomed into one of the most exciting models of her generation - photographed for Vogue and fronting campaigns for designers Armani and Burberry.

Agyness attended All Saints' RC High School in Rawtenstall before going on to take A-levels at Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School Sixth Form before leaving in 2001.

Last year Agyness won Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards.

And she recently scooped a coveted award at the Elle Style Awards.

She sported bleached hair and a cerise jacket to collect her top model award.
