Specsavers event attracts stars

A student from County Donegal, Ireland has been crowned this year's Spectacle Wearer of the Year by a panel of judges.

Maria Gildea (pictured) picked up the award and a modelling contract at the annual Specsavers event at Battersea Power Station in London last week. Spectacle wearing celebrities on the green carpet included host Gok Wan (also pictured), actress Helen Flanagan and singer Marcus Collins, while Celebrity Spectacle Wearers of the Year prizes went to Tom Fletcher of McFly and actress Su Pollard.

Gildea said: 'I'm still in shock and can't believe I've won. The competition was very high and all the other contestants were so lovely. While I was on stage my heart was in my ears. It was such an adrenaline rush.'
