Q: Who'd dress up as Ali G? A: Our Lucy would

Booyakasha! Is fancy dress a load of rap?

That’s the question the Grimsby Evening Telegraph’s health reporter Lucy Wood set out to answer on her latest assignment at the paper.

Lucy (pictured above – believe it or not) was dispatched after the paper found one fancy dress shop that hired out 85 costumes on New Year’s Eve.

She said: “That’s why I have embarrassed myself in front of scores of Grimsby Telegraph readers, friends and family – all for a bit of fun.”

Ah well – it’s in front of Holdthefrontpage readers too, now Lucy.

And for those who don’t know her, this is how she normally looks.
