A Winchester schoolgirl had a "jamtastic" time after winning a competition organised by the makers of a popular biscuit.

Lauren Davidson (11), pictured, was chosen by Mini Jammie Dodgers to enrol in its Jam Wrestling Academy.

The youngster put her sticky mitts to the test as she embarked upon an overnight adventure at a secret location.

Lauren, from Blackwell Road, Worthy Down, saw "behind the scenes" life of a Jam Wrestler, meeting characters such as Badger and Ginger Crab and undergoing the awesome academy assault course, in which she had to master abseiling and archery and pit her wits in the puzzle park before she faced the stickiest of situations - the infamous "Jam Bath".

Lauren said: "Winning a place at the Jam Wrestling Academy was really exciting - the characters were brilliant. There were plenty of Jammie Dodgers for us to get stuck into as well!"
