TV STARS and models enjoyed a charity calendar launch night raising more than £1,000.

Friends of Take Me Out and Coach Trip contestant Jodie Carnall, from Hinckley, came together as she launched the 2019 edition of her lingerie calendar in aid of The Brain Tumour Charity.

She said: “The night was fantastic, a huge success.

“The function room at The Chase Nuneaton looked beautiful and inviting.

“The staff were hardworkin­g and friendly and really looked after me and my guests.

“Francis Fine Wines donated prosecco for guests to enjoy all evening.

“Joanne Steele’s Kylie Minogue Tribute act got the party started and everybody on the dance floor.

“The band ReggaeRock­aBoogie continued to entertain everybody and keep everybody dancing all evening.

“DJ Paul Kavanagh was fantastic and he also took photograph­s of everybody which he sold on the evening to make more money for charity.”

TV celebs at the event included Jodie’s Coach Trip partner Jimmy along with Hannah and Helen from Series 17 of the E4 hit and Big Brother’s Lisa Appleton.

Jodie said: “She loved talking, partying and taking selfies with my guests.

“It was lovely because Hannah and Helen from Coach Trip also came, and with Jimmy serving the prosecco it was like a coach trip reunion.

“It was great to have us all together again.

“Big Brother’s Sam Chaloner also attended along with Ibiza Weekender’s Marlie.

“The calendars have only just been launched and are already in demand.”

The launch night raised £1,037 for the good cause with more money still to come in.

This is the third edition of the calendar in aid of The Brain Tumour Charity, which model Jodie created after her aunt Kay was diagnosed with the disease, who died in April 2017.

Male and female model versions of the calendar are available for £8.

The photos for the calendar were taken by Lauren Lewis at Studio-17.
