A RISING star of BBC Radio was back in the area to help launch a campaign - highlighting the good deeds of South Cheshire people.

Natalie O'Leary, 30, joined with hairdressing salon owner Steven Burgin, to launch One of a Kind - rewarding local people who go the extra mile to support the community.

The former Shavington school pupil stepped into the spotlight as winner of the salon's Face of 2010 contest - which shone the spotlight on her stylish looks and sparkling personality back when she was aged 18.

She went on to become an online presenter and podcast host for global fashion brand PrettyLittleThing, interviewing some of the biggest names in pop culture.

Last year Natalie won a BBC Radio presenter search to host shows on Radio One over Christmas.

Now Natalie is set to present an early morning slot on Fridays throughout May.

Steve, proprietor of the eponymous hairdressing salon on Hospital Street, Nantwich, said: "Natalie's career is going from strength to strength and it was wonderful to meet up again.

"She took time out of her busy schedule to help launch our One of a Kind search and is right behind our efforts to promote kindness and caring in our local community.

"In the salon we hear so much about the kindness of others making South Cheshire such a special place to live and work.

"We want to harness all that loveliness and reward kind-hearted people."

South Cheshire people are asked to nominate the local gems they know for a free make-over in the salon throughout spring and summer.

One will be selected each month for a VIP visit and in the autumn an overall One of a Kind winner will be rewarded a £100 prize including make-over, Joico hair products, flowers and champagne.

Manchester-based Natalie, who went on to study at the former South Cheshire College, said: "Stepping into the spotlight to win Steve Burgin's Face of 2010 contest was certainly a confidence booster.

"I'll never forget the awards ceremony at Crewe Hall and the thrill of my name being called.

"It was lovely to see Steve again and especially for such a good cause. South Cheshire is so warm-hearted and I will always call it home."
