THIS friendly faced woman could soon be gazing out at shoppers from huge billboards across the north west.

That's because Kirsten Penny from Runcorn and Helen Witfield from Widnes have reached the finals of ASDA's 'Face of the City' campaign.

The supermarket chain has been scouring the region to find a warming grin or inviting smile to win the hearts of shoppers at its 35 stores in Cheshire, Merseyside and the north west.

Kirsten, a 20-year-old sales advisor from ASDA's Halton Lea store and Helen, a 30-year-old employee at ASDA Simms Cross, will now go through to the next stage.

Judges will then pick three people to strut their stuff in a ASDA George fashion show before the lucky winner meets a top modelling agency and stars in a billboard advertising campaign.
