TWO students at the University of Teesside have won new laptops in an online competition.

To enter, Deborah Flanagan and Kevin Robinson wrote a few details into the university website.

The students were selected from nearly 5,000 entries.

Mother-of-three Deborah Flanagan, 41, from Middlesbrough, is in the second year of a midwifery degree.

She said: "When I came back for my second year, I entered the laptop competition but then forgot all about it.

"My two older daughters were bought a laptop for Christmas I was really jealous. Then I received the e-mail saying I had won the laptop. I thought it was my husband Shaun winding me up."

Mr Robinson, from Saltburn, is a first year student on the Higher National Diploma in web design.

The 27-year-old said: "I couldn't believe it when I found out I had won, I rang up to check straight away. It's saved me a lot of money as I needed to buy a laptop with my PC being broken."
