DJ in TV stardom bid

SINGER Vince Hughes makes his bid for TV stardom tonight as sixties rocker Dion.

The former teenage editorial assistant at the Manchester Evening News belts out the New Yorker's million-seller Runaround Sue in the live grand final of Stars In Their Eyes.

Vince, from Denton, works as a mobile DJ and is a big fan of vintage sixties pop. He said: ''I do weddings and parties, but this is the big time.''

Also in the final is 18-year-old Congleton student Matthew Shaw, who appears as Meatloaf and Jeff Greenhalgh, from Leigh, who performs The Beatles' Eleanor Rigby singing as Paul McCartney.
