GLAMOUR model Danielle Lloyd posed on a pink sofa to help raise funds for the Oxfordshire charity Against Breast Cancer (ABC).

Danielle was approached by ABC's Witney fundraising team to help promote the auction of a bespoke pink sofa, manufactured and donated by the Witney company, Wesley-Barrell, to coincide with National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October).

Accompanied by Natasha Hall, a member of Witney ABC, Danielle was driven by Neil Haine from her home in Essex to Witney to do the photoshoot at the studios of photographer Stephen Randall.

Danielle, 23, posed on the pale pink sofa with her pet Pomeranian dog, called Trouble. She modelled a T-shirt from the Perfectly Pink range - £2 from every T-shirt sold is donated to ABC.

She was happy to help the charity, following her own breast cancer scare earlier this year.

She said: "When I was working in New York, I found a lump in my breast. Because I was working so much, I didn't actually tell anyone about it for about three months. I have a good friend who is a surgeon at the Linda McCartney Centre, and when I finally told him that I'd discovered this lump some time earlier, he went absolutely mental!

"He sent me for a biopsy, and I had the lump removed - luckily, it was benign."

Wesley-Barrell retail and marketing manager, Nikki Dunstan said: "This is a very special chance to own a hand-made Wesley-Barrell sofa, and give to a very good cause."

The sofa will be on display in the Wesley-Barrell showroom at 3 Bridge Street, Witney, from Friday, October 5. Bids may be placed up until October 20 in person at the Witney showroom, or by e-mailing . The highest bid will win the sofa, which retails at £2,835. A minimum bid value of £1,500 has been set.

T-shirts, like the one modelled by Danielle, plus a large range of other designs, are available at the website theperfectlypinkcompany.com.

Witney ABC will also be selling the T-shirts in the town centre on Saturday, which is Witney in the Pink Day. The town will be decorated with pink balloons, shops and businesses will take part in the best decorated shop window competition, there will be a street collection, stalls selling cakes, jewellery, pink accessories and bric-a-brac, a Big Pink Balloon Race, and entertainers, including Mason's Apron, Hazazz, and Queen Emma's Morris dancers, and Witney Town Band.

The fun kicks off at 10am, and lasts all day.
