Speaking ahead of the show, she said:

“I’m thrilled to be part of this year’s Ballymena Autumn Winter Fashion Show. Fashion is about confidence and creativity, and I can’t wait to celebrate local style with everyone on the night.”

The evening will feature catwalk looks from Ballymena’s best-known boutiques alongside high street favourites.

Guests will also receive a complimentary glass of prosecco on arrival and a luxury goodie bag sponsored by Rituals, adding an extra touch of indulgence.
