A MOTHER and daughter are looking forward to a taste of fame when they star in a television commercial.

Travel agent Laura Bryson will appear in an advertisement for Hays Travel which will be broadcast for the first time on Christmas Day.

Laura, 21, assistant manager of the Ferryhill branch, features in the 30-second advert with mum Cath as an extra.

The advert will get its premiere on Tyne Tees Television during the intervals of soaps Emmerdale and Coronation Street.

Laura, of Wingate, said: "I don't usually like being the centre of attention but all the crew from the production company were so relaxed and reassuring.

"It was such an interesting experience, to see how everything works behind the scenes of a TV ad."
