CORONATION Street star Tina Hobley - Samantha from the Rovers Return - will take an evening off from working behind the bar to take to the catwalk at a charity fashion show in Burnley.

She will be one of the models helping to raise £2,500 for the NSPCC at the opening of the new Barden Mill shop next Wednesday, September 24.

Tina and the other models will be wearing clothes from Barden Mill's new autumn range.

The official opening will be performed by the Mayor of Burnley, Coun Mrs Enid Tate.

The show starts at 6.30pm. Tickets cost £3 and include a glass of wine and snacks. They can be bought at the shop or from Donna on 01282 420333.

Major changes at the Barden Lane mill have created a new entrance and till area, doubled the size of the shop and provided parking for over 80 cars.
