Two girls from mid-Essex will be travelling to London to have lunch with a chart-topping boy band.

Hannah Clark, 18, and Charlie Preston, 16, will be going to the Grosvenor Hotel in the capital later this month to have lunch with McFly.

Hannah, of Beacon Hill, Wickham Bishops, and Charlie, of St Cleres Way, Danbury, will meet the McFly boys on Wednesday and enjoy a two-course meal with them.

Hannah said: "I'm taking my twin sister Emma with me and we both can't wait.

"I've always been a McFly fan and I actually met them when Avril Lavigne played in Camden, as they were in the crowd.

"I can't wait to meet them properly this time and find out what they're really like."

The girls will dine in a private room in the hotel with band members Harry Judd, Danny Jones, Tom Fletcher and Dougie Poynter.

The girls won the chance to meet the boyband, whose singles include Five Colours In Her Hair and Obviously, by entering a local radio competition.
