A TALENTED young stunner from Rixton is going from strength to strength in the world of modelling.

Aaron Thompson, aged six, has hit the headlines last years as the face of Ethel Austin and now the youngster is back in store to advertise the spring and summer collections.

But in the meantime he has starred in a number of other campaigns.

Since then young Aaron greeted customers on a Barclays Bank in-store video, he graced the front cover of the Index catalogue, he was an extra in a film, and also featured on the Granada home shopping channel and in the Galt catalogue.

"He's doing very well and he's loving it," said mum Christina.

"He is only six, but he'll continue to do this as long as he wants to."

Aaron loves the usual boyhood pursuit of football, but his latest passion is dancing.

"He's started tap and ballet lessons," added Christina.

"I've let him watch parts of the film Billy Elliott, and he's absolutely mesmerised."

Aaron is a member of the Culcheth-based Eurokids casting agency and regularly attends their stage school-style workshops. He is now looking forward to a dance show in the autumn and more modelling work.
