HERE is a picture of the moment lucky Worcester News reader Sam Swainson met her idol singer Shayne Ward. Sam, of King's Hill, Kempsey, won our competition to meet the X-Factor winner and then see him perform at the NEC.

She said: "I took my boyfriend's sister Fe with me and we had a truly fantastic night.

"Meeting Shayne was an amazing experience. He came across as so nice and down-to-earth. It really was an absolute pleasure. Thank you once again - you made my year!"
