Aspiring opera singer wins W Towyn Roberts Scholarship at National Eisteddfod
An aspiring opera singer travelled to Wrexham to successfully take part in a prestigious competition at the National Eisteddfod. Manon Ogwen Parry, of Penarth near Cardiff, was one of four finalists in the W Towyn Roberts Scholarship on Monday afternoon. She is taking part in a series of concerts at the Edinburgh Festival and made the long journey from Scotland to take part in the Eisteddfod. She said: "Winning the W Towyn Roberts Scholarship would be an honour. It would make my family really proud, my father is from Bethesda. "I've been competing in the Urdd Eisteddfod, the Llangollen Eisteddfod and the National Eisteddfod since I was about five years old and this is a prize I have looked up to while growing up." The scholarship was set up in memory of Towyn Roberts' wife, Violet Jones, Nantclwyd, to promote vocal music for soloists in Wales and is awarded to the most promising competitor to enable them to follow a vocal training course at a recognised music school or college.

After deliberating for some time the adjudicators decided Manon worthy of the Scholarship with John second and Ffion third. It was a busy day for the 25-year-old soprano who is currently studying opera at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London. During the morning she was inducted into Gorsedd Cymru before taking part in the competition. This was as a result of her winning the Osborne Roberts Memorial Prize for the most promising soloist at last year's National Eisteddfod at Pontypridd. It has been a whirlwind year for Manon who made her debut at New York's Carnegie Hall last year and is set to perform at the BBC Proms later this summer as well as the Edinburgh Festival.

Shoppers rush to buy Skims swimsuit that ‘snatches the waist' and ‘hides back fat' as it gets slashed in clearance sale
FASHION fans have been racing to pick up Skims' bestselling swimsuit as it gets slashed from £98 to £63 in a clearance sale.

The scoop-neck silhouette and low back is designed to flatter every body shape, with medium coverage across the one-piece. It has adjustable straps and a high-leg cut, finished with the Skims logo at the back. The blue and black colourways also come as a bikini, with a Signature Swim Tank Bikini Top and the matching Dipped Bikini Bottoms. The fashion deal is part of Skims' latest sale, where prices are being slashed on items that won't be returning to the site. Read our explainer on where to buy Skims as it launches 50% off sale.

Since its initial launch in 2018, Skims has branched out to release a wide range of fashion pieces, all of which have a focus on body positivity and inclusivity. Dozens of celebrities have modelled on various campaigns for the brand, including Sabrina Carpenter and Charli XCX. Skims' Signature Swim Scoop Neck One-Piece, £68 (was £96) Skims has become of the biggest names in the shapewear world. Shapewear comes in the form of bodysuits, shorts, briefs and slip dresses, and they're designed to be worn beneath clothes to shape and smooth out the silhouette. For a deep-dive into the popular undergarments, read our tried-and-tested roundup of the best shapewear. Finding a swimsuit that flatters the figure can be challenging, as it needs to enhance the silhouette while being subtle enough that the shaping functions are invisible. Online shoppers have praised the Skims Signature Swim One-Piece for smoothing lumps and bumps, while still looking stylish. The swimwear has received an impressive 4.6-out-of-5 star rating on average across hundreds of customers. One reviewer wrote: "Best bathing suit purchase I've made to date - the way the cut bottom and low cut top shape the torso and chest while holding the lower stomach in is a look no other brand has been able to achieve so well. I feel confident, look amazing, and stay comfortable all at the same time!" Another added: "This swimsuit is super flattering and the way it fits is perfect for hiding my roll of backfat I'm always self conscious of - it's a home run!" As holiday season is in full-swing and more heatwaves are predicted in the coming weeks, it's likely the Skims Scoop Neck One-Piece will be selling out soon.
