A LANCASHIRE contestant on the Great British Bake Off is judging this year's Big Bolton Charity Cake Bake and Cake Sale.

Dorret Conway, who was the third contestant to leave this year's series, will lead a team of three judges including Janet Marshall, cake development expert at Park Cakes in Bolton, and Keith Wallis, senior head chef at Holiday Inn in Bolton town centre.

The event will take place at Laserase Bolton, opposite the ambulance station on the Royal Bolton Hospital site, on Saturday, October 10 from 2pm until 4.30pm.

It aims to raise awareness of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and to raise money for national charity Verity — which supports women whose lives are affected by Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

Julie Kershaw, Clinic Manager at Laserase Bolton, said: "Every year we treat a number of women with PCOS for excess hair growth and acne, but many are unaware that in some cases NHS funding may be available.

"Working with the Royal Bolton Hospital's Gynaecology and Dermatology departments, we aim to better direct women in Bolton to get the help and treatment they need."
