In addition to the public vote which makes up 10 per cent of their final score all the finalists will be looking to impress the judging panel made up of X Factor judge Louis Walsh, singer Una Healy, designer Rhys Ellis and model Kate Brill.

Lucy Brown said: “This is the first year that Brannock High has participated in the event, our art teacher Miss Reilly told us about the competition and we wanted to join in.

“We wanted to make a dress that looked like something out of a fairytale and create a character, not just a dress.

“We thought of materials to use and we went with the idea of using book pages, each cone on the dress was individually wrapped and glued then we stuck them together.
