IT will be a stag and a hen "do" with a difference - TV cameras are recording every move.

And on Monday - for better or for worse - millions will see the stag and hen night antics of Bolton barber Darren Foster and his fiancee, Sam Lilley.

The couple were chosen by GMTV viewers to be the ones to feature in the breakfast show's wedding of the year.

And viewers are voting on every detail of the wedding.

Now the flights to the Cyprus wedding venue have been booked, the invitations sent out, the dress and groom's outfit have been fitted, the menu has been finalised, and the flowers and cake have been chosen.

Today the couple, who have been together for five years and say they are "inseparable", were being split up for their stag and hen parties.

GMTV presenter Matt Arnold announced the venues at Sam's house in Hollins, Bury, on TV yesterday morning.

Sam aged 23, and her "hens", including older sisters Geraldine and Georgina, mum Brenda and Darren's mum, June were being treated to a luxurious day at Manchester's five-star Lowry Hotel.

They will sip champagne and indulge in chocolate, ice cream and popcorn while watching their favourite girlie films. They will then be pampered by beauticians in preparation for a night on the town. They will enjoy a meal at The Living Room, in Deansgate, and dance the night away at Lime Bar, before heading back to the Lowry for the night.

When she heard the news, Sam said: "It sounds perfect. I can't wait. I need a massage after all the excitement of the wedding - I'm absolutely shattered."

Darren and his stags, including best man Clive Powers, two future brothers-in-law, dad George and Sam's dad, also called George, were being whisked off to Derbyshire for a boys' day out.

They will race around on quad bikes and try clay pigeon shooting.

They will also head into Manchester for a night at comedy venue and nightclub Jongleurs, in Chorlton Street.

Maintaining tradition, they will be wearing specially prepared T-shirts featuring a photograph of Darren as a youngster.

Mountain biker Darren said: "It's brilliant. I couldn't have asked for anything better. I think it will go down well with the lads.

"I'm not too sure about the T-shirts, though. That was a bit of a surprise."

Footage from the hen and stag parties will be featured on GMTV on Monday.

All that remains now is for viewers to choose the style for bride's hair and make-up. The three options will be shown on the ITV show the week after next, with the final decision being revealed on Friday, August 27.

Darren and Sam will fly to Cyprus to prepare the final touches for their big day, which takes place at St George's Chapel, Paphos.

Viewers will be able to watch the wedding live on GMTV on Friday, September 3.
