BOLTON'S rising sprint ace Amy Spencer (pictured) will be a television star tonight when she appears on Blue Peter.
The 16-year-old, who is on a par with Britain's fastest senior lady sprinters over 100m and 200m, will take part on the TV show as part of a Young Sports Personality of the Year feature.
The BBC is introducing a sports personality competition for junior sporting stars on the same basis as the established senior Sports Personality of the Year vote.
Amy, who lives in Aspull and goes to Bolton School, has been selected by UK Athletics to go on tonight's show as an example of a top quality young athlete.
