THE winner of our £50 cash prize giveaway in a bid to cheer one of our readers up on Blue Monday has been picked.

We announced yesterday that, to mark what is commonly known as Blue Monday - the day in January said to be the most depressing of the year, we were going to give away £50 in cash to one lucky reader.

We had a total of 569 entries but there can only be one winner.

The lucky reader has been chosen - well done to 31-year-old KATIE SLATER from Barrow.

Katie - we'll be in touch with you by email to arrange for you to come in and collect your prize.
