A Stars In Their Eyes event raised £1,800 for Isle of Wight charities.

The night of entertainment, held at the Riverside Centre in Newport in early November, raised funds for Daisy Chains and Optio.

The  fundraising event was inspired by the popular 90s TV show Stars In Their Eyes and featured ten local contestants who transformed into their favourite musical icons.

This year's event, which built on the success of last year's inaugural show, was organised and hosted by Anthony Crompton, a seasoned performer originally from Wigan, now residing on the IW.

Anthony, who has a long history of hosting charity events in his hometown, created the show as a way to bring the loeal community together in support of important causes.

He said: "The support we've received this year has been overwhelming, and it's heartening to see so many people giving their time and energy to such worthy causes."

The performers, most of whom were first-time contestants with little more than karaoke experience, impersonated famous stars, from Billy Joel and Frank Sinatra to Madonna and Mick Jagger.

The evening was co-hosted by Anthony and singer Sarah Morris.

The two charities recently received their cheques.
