Unbeknown to her, as she walked through Leeds Shopping Centre, she turned the corner into Lands Lane to be surprised by a large image of herself on the screen in nothing but her underwear! She was then hijacked by the show’s producer and a camera. The public was asked to look at her on the screen and give comments about the lady in question. An amusing afternoon was had by all. Indeed, she did look good on our Cityscreen mobile LED screen.
