TOWIE star Debbie Douglas hosted a "pink day" to raise awareness of breast cancer.

Mrs Douglas, of High Road, Woodford Green, sold cakes and cups of tea and coffee to her friends and family who all dressed in pink for the day.

She said: "Breast cancer is quite common in my family and if I manage to escape it then I've got four daughters to worry about."

The group of friends and family managed to raise £600 for Breast Cancer Care.

Throughout October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, fundraisers were encouraged to hold a Pink Friday to raise money for the charity.
