Love Island winners to headline St George’s student shopping event

The winners of this year’s Love Island will take centre stage at the Student Lock-In at St George’s Shopping Centre in Preston this month.

Stars Nathan Massey and Cara de la Hoyde will be guests of honour at the ninth annual event on Tuesday, September 27 from 6pm-9pm.

The pair were crowned the winners of the ITV show in an emotional final this summer. Cara, a circus performer, and carpenter Nathan, have also made a guest appearance on The Only Way is Essex since winning the show.

This year’s event, which runs from 6pm until 9pm, is expected to attract thousands of student shoppers from across the North West with retailers offering special discounts and guest companies offering giveaways and entertainment.

In addition to a special meet and greet, the celebs will also choose and handover £1,000 to one lucky student shopper.
