The event has previously raised more than £15,000 for charities and the clothes modelled will be donated to Cancer Research shops across Sheffield to help boost their funds.

This year will see major brands modelled including Couture Club, In The Style and Blanc Underwear, as well as a host of local companies, including sustainable brand, I Second That.

Emmerdale star Dean Andrews will also be in attendance.

Andrews has played Will Taylor on the hit ITV show since 2019 and is also known for his role as DS Ray Carling in BBC drama Life on Mars.

Event organiser James Clarke said: “Runway Idol is one of the highlights of the summer locally and I can’t wait to unveil this years show. It’s such a great night out with family and friends, whilst supporting two local charities who need our support.”
