A woman says she is celebrating splitting from her husband with a party to raise money for a cancer charity - after losing family to the disease. Catherine Owens, 48, originally planned to mark the separation from her partner with her hen do friends in her home.
However, news about the event spread quickly, with up to 150 people now slated to attend - forcing her to book out a social club. Nine acts, including singing and stand up comedy, will also be performing with the aim of raising money for charity.
Mum-of-two Catherine, from Swansea, had been with her husband for 16 years in total - married for four - before they split in September. Now, she says they are now heading for divorce - and she plans to use the 'divorce party' for a good cause. In fact, Catherine has decided to work with Brain Tumour Research after losing both of her grandfathers to brain tumours.
