VIP backstage tickets to see Take That in concert are being auctioned off to WHT readers by a marathon runner to raise cash for charity.

The dream chance to meet Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange and Mark Owen and see them perform just metres away is being offered by beautician Lydia Clarkson.

The 26-year-old completed Sunday's Flora London Marathon in four hours, 49 minutes, in aid of the Whizz-Kidz charity.

Now she wants to boost the total raised on the day by auctioning off the tickets for Take That at Wembley Stadium on Friday, July 3.

Lydia's mum Chrissie, who co-runs Synergie Hair and Beauty Salon with Lydia, said: "We would rather it went to someone local, that's why we didn't put them on eBay.

"You really can't buy these tickets. When we went to see Take That before, Lulu was in the seat behind us!

"It was fantastic."

As for Lydia, she told the WHT she was delighted to have completed the 26-mile, 385-yard trek for the first time.

"It was very hot, but it was a fantastic experience. It was great though, I would definitely do it again."

So for your chance to win the tickets; It Only Takes A Minute to enter, so have a little Patience and Pray you put in the highest bid.
