BRITNEY IN BLACKPOOL: Hens got a piece of Brit to save the day
Laura Bulloch and her 12 hens had booked their celebrations via Awesome Weekends, a Blackpool-based online firm offering discount group mini-break packages –which was then declared insolvent last month.
Maid-of-honour Debbie McIntyre, from Drumchapel near Glasgow, had paid £1,100 for the two-night stay in a resort hotel for the group and contacted The Gazette for help when their plans fell apart. Her initial payment is now due to be refunded by her bank.

“The most important thing was that Laura had a great time and she did.
“Pitbull was brilliant on Saturday night, supporting Britney.
“She mimed a lot but it was still a great experience – you can’t grumble when people have paid that kind of money for those tickets.”
Golden Circle’ tickets normally cost £137.50 each.
