A 14-year-old won a special lunch with The Only Way is Essex star Ricky Rayment at a Romford shopping centre.
Hannah Reed was selected from more than 450 entries to win the Romford Brewery competition.
She brought along her sister and two best friends for the lunch at the Zizzi restaurant on Sunday (July 1).
Hannah said: “I couldn’t believe it when I was called by The Brewery and told that I had won the competition – I screamed on the bus.
“I am a massive fan of the show and chose my sister and two best friends to join me as a thank you for helping me through a tough time at school.”
Ricky Rayment said: “I am always at The Brewery as it is my local Nando’s and cinema – I am there pretty much every week.
“It is great to be able to come back here and meet some of my local fans, they were lovely girls and I had a very enjoyable lunch date with them.”
Rubie Charalambous, centre director, said: “Ricky was very charming and was the perfect lunch date for Hannah and her friends.”
