One of the most popular TV heart throbs of this century has been unveiled as the guest celebrity DJ at one of the most popular Ladies Day meeting north of Royal Ascot.
As ladies enjoyed a spring evening at the racecourse last weekend, the team at Doncaster made the surprise announcement that St Leger Ladies Day at Doncaster Racecourse on Thursday 14th September 2017 will welcome the TOWIE star, model and TV presenter Mark Wright. Mark will perform a ninety minute DJ set straight after the day’s racing and will also be on hand to meet a handful of racegoers during the day who will be selected from an earlier competition.
“We are delighted to welcome Mark to our racecourse on one of our most spectacular days – Ladies Day and we look forward to showing him some true Yorkshire hospitality,” said Abby Chandler Head of Marketing Doncaster Racecourse. “After a packed race card Mark will take to the stage and delight the after racing crowds with a DJ set showcasing his inimitable charisma and stage presence.”
Mark shot to fame on the reality TV series The Only Way is Essex (TOWIE) and has since then become a household TV name appearing on BBC Strictly Come Dancing and ITV’s I’m a Celebrity. Mark is married to Michelle Keegan known for her role in ITV’s Coronation Street and more recently the BBC hit drama Our Girl.
Ladies Day is always hugely popular during the St. Leger Festival and is seen as one of South Yorkshire’s biggest social occasions full of glitz and glamour. It is also well-known for its celebrated Best Dressed Lady competition which sees an array of fine fillies hoping to secure the coveted title along with a plethora of prizes including a holiday.
“This year’s competition details will be announced ahead of the day so ladies have as much opportunity as possible to choose a winning outfit,” said Abby. “We already have one finalist securing her place in the 10 lady lineup. Zoe Mulligan won the Best Dressed Lady title at our Visit Bawtry Spring Ladies Night meeting last weekend, so with just nine places left we’re looking forward to seeing some outstanding outfits that are sure to impress our stylish celebrity guest.”
In the past, prizes have included a trip to New York, the use of a Mini car for a year and numerous indulgent smaller prizes.
