TOWIE stars step out for Guide Dogs
Mother-daughter combo head up Go Walkies

A mother and daughter starring in the reality TV show The Only Way is Essex (TOWIE) have paired up with Guide Dogs to become the face of Go Walkies events.

Debbie Douglas and daughter Lydia Bright were inspired to join the charity after a chance meeting with a local guide dog trainer.

Go Walkies is a series of events in which dogs are sponsored to take part in a dog walk, becoming mini-fundraisers for Guide Dogs.

The charity hopes to beat the Guinness World Record for the largest sponsored dog walk through these events.

Commenting on her new role as celebrity ambassador for Guide Dogs, Lydia said: "I love dogs and I love people so what's not to love about Guide Dogs and the amazing work they do…

"Mum and I are so excited about our new roles as ambassadors, we can't wait to get involved and start meeting people at Go Walkies events!"
