A GROUP of stag night revellers have issued an urgent appeal - to find their blow-up doll!

Best man Gareth McManus took out his brother Mark for a night of fun in Bolton town centre before he ties the knot tomorrow. And the life-size blow-up doll was taken along for a laugh.

Gareth, 23, of Astley Bridge said: "We managed to take her in most places, but unfortunately she wasn't allowed in when we went to the Brasshouse on Churchgate. "When we came out at the end of the night she was gone. I'm not sure whether someone has stolen her or she just blew away. But we would love to find her again."

Gareth is hoping to find the doll before his brother gets married to his bride Janet Iddon tomorrow. Anyone with information can contact him on 0802 431093.
