TWO Darlington girls took to the stage in the finals of a talent competition.

Georgia McIntyre and Brittany Knowles, both 12, sang in the Rainbow Trust show at the Newcastle Hilton Hotel. Judges included actors Tim Healy and Denise Welch.

The girls are students of Darlington's Stagecoach Theatre Arts school.

Principal Trudy Hindmarsh said: "Both girls will have given a fantastic performance because they both have terrific voices."
