BUSINESSWOMAN and former beauty queen Sadie Ayton certainly lives life in the fast lane.
For soon after she reached her home in Consett, County Durham, after picking up a national award in London, she was driving through the night to Blackpool, to take part in a national glamorous granny competition.
Sadie beat off competition from national chain stores to win a best shop award for her Consett lingerie store, Sadie The Bra Lady.
The award was given by the national clothing trade magazine, Draper's Record. After flying back from picking up the award Sadie, 63, set off on her nocturnal journey to Blackpool for the glamorous granny competition, but failed to make it past the semi-finals.
"I was disappointed about the glamorous granny competition, but it was all good fun," said Sadie.
"I have to say, although I'm tired now, it has been a happy few days."
