BARNSLEY lass Catherine Hawkins was rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous when she was invited to the launch of P and O's new cruise ship the Britannia.

The trip was part of a prize Catherine won in a competition to become a stylist for the ship which was launched last week in Southampton by Her Majesty the Queen.

The prize saw Catherine consider the ship's colour schemes and give opinions on who should be ship's chef.

She then attended a dinks reception hosted by Rob Brydon followed by the celebration dinner prepared by chefs James Martin, Atul Kochhar, Marco Pierre White and Eric Lanlard.
