Grandmother Margarett Stally was treated like a pop star when she enjoyed a chauffeur-driven trip to see pop star Will Young.

Mrs Stally paid £3,600 for herself and grand-daughter Kelly, 17, to meet the Pop Idol winner in London.

The pair saw Will perform alongside runner-up Gareth Gates at Wembley and were joined by Southern FM breakfast show presenters Danny Pike and Nicky Keig-Shevlin.

Mrs Stally, of Court Farm Road, Newhaven, paid the money during the station's Fun-d bank holiday auction on air.

Money raised will help support groups who work with young people.

To thank Mrs Stally for her generosity, she received a signed and framed CD and picture from Will's record company.

Mrs Stally said: "Will was lovely. He had so much charisma. Gareth didn't have as much charisma.

"A couple of girls were crying when they saw Will and he was really nice about it. He put his arm around them and said, 'I used to cry during EastEnders'.

"The picture is great - I would put it up at work but I think they will all just take the mickey."
