FORMER TV Karaoke Challenge champion Sandra Blakelidge has taken her talent to the next level by setting up her own business in what she loves best.

Sandra and long-term best friend, Laura Stephenson both 18 have got together and started the all singing and dancing business they have called Premier Entertainment Group.

They are both stars in their own right as Sandra, of Clayton Street, Great Harwood, is a local pub and club singer and Laura of Catlow Hall Street, Oswaldtwistle was a first class dancer who attended the Gordonstoun Art School, renowned for its royal pupils.

The pair are currently designing a 16-week programme to help young starlets get some essential singing and dancing experience at St James Club, Oswaldtwistle.
