Lorraine said: "We raised £4,160 on the night for the sallycancerfoundation which is a charity that has been set up in Sally's memory to help cushion the blow for families who have children diagnosed with cancer.

"The night was compared brilliantly by Neil Hailwood who organises the annual Jingle all the way Santa walk and also featured the ugly sisters from Cinderella which is this year's pantomime for Adlington St Paul's Players."

Talking fondly about Sally, she added: "She loved to dance and attended classes at Gillies Mar-Jan stage school in Chorley. She also performed in pantomimes at Adlington St Paul's Players and had over 15,000 tik tok followers.
