JUST months after signing with a top record label, Bolton singer Hannah Morris has undergone an amazing image re-vamp.

Gone are the dark-rimmed glasses and braces, and hey presto, a stunning rival to Britney Spears has emerged!

Her story is enough to inspire every teenager in Bolton with few people realising that the pop singer has battled for 14 years to overcome blinding cataracts in her eyes.

Her family are as proud as punch that their daughter has blossomed into a stunning teenager -- whose album is set to take the charts by storm on October 23.

Hannah's dark, brown eyes may be as pretty as a picture but the youngster has been left unable to see clearly after being born with the rare cataract condition.

She has undergone a number of operations, including restoring a lens in one of her eyes, and still sees a specialist at the Manchester Eye Unit.

Dad Peter explained: "She was asked not to wear the glasses for the photoshoot -- but she still needs them in every day life.

"And two years ago she had a row of crooked teeth and like most teenagers she despaired. The transformation in Hannah is amazing, and her sister Hayley is just as proud.

"We don't have wallpaper on the walls now -- just these beautiful pictures of Hannah."

Record company Virgin, who have signed Hannah, say they have had little input in her new look style.

A spokesman said: "We've not really done anything at all. Her image is how she wants it to be.

"The braces are gone because, like most teenagers, they only wear them for a certain length of time. "She's got really beautiful teeth, and they are all her own!"

Registered disabled due to her eyesight, Hannah was "discovered" by her dad one day as she sang in her Chorley New Road bedroom.

He shouted for her to turn the radio off -- until he realised that she hadn't even got it on.

Hannah entered a BBC talent contest, "A Star for a Night", stealing the show and drawing the attention of pop giants Virgin.

The Grand Final of the BBC contest will be shown on television on October 21 followed by the release of her single "I'll Be There" on October 23 and her album "Hannah Morris" two days later.

Virgin signed the Bolton girl in February this year.

Hannah said: "I took my glasses off and had makeup on to cover my spots. I really like my hair now. I had it done at a top salon in London."

Proud dad, Peter added: "Hannah is dynamite. She has matured and her determination not to let anything get in the way of her life is inspirational."
