A local make-up artist has joined the ranks of popular TV Show The Apprentice.
Newry's Grainee McCoy who runs her own studio has been flitting between home and London for filming.
The thirty-one year-old specialises in special effects.
She made the final eighteen after being chosen from over eighty thousand applicants.
Speaking to Q Radio's Kevin McAllister, Grainne's mum Siobhan Carragher and step-dad Phelim Carragher said,
"It's been tough for her but she applied to raise her profile and she got in over 80,000 entrants.
She's a good kid and we are very proud, but we can't say anything more at the minute - we had to sign NDAs (non disclosure agreements)."
