1st July 2011: The Only Way Is Essex favourite, Amy Childs, brought a Comet store to a standstill today when she was seen checking out 3D TVs ahead of the Wimbledon finals this weekend.

With her flame-red hair the reality TV star caught the attention of Comet shoppers as she received a 3D TV demonstration by staff.

From Friday 1st July and over this weekend Wimbledon will be shown in 3D for the first time and the much loved former under-14s Ping-Pong champion decided that she wanted to get even closer to the action than ever before.

Tennis fan Amy said: “I was a Ping Pong champion when I was 13, so I always try to keep up to date with Wimbledon. I love Wimbledon and on the 3D TV it feels like you are actually there - the ball really comes out at you.”

"Now that the finals are being filmed in 3D, I can watch every little detail and try to spot some new tricks to use in my next doubles match with Arg, Mark and Lauren."

This weekend electrical specialist Comet is inviting customers to come and watch the Wimbledon finals live in 3D in Comet stores nationwide. The finals will be shown on Sony’s latest 3D TV range, allowing people in the UK who have not purchased 3D TVs to watch their favourite sport in a new dimension. Visit the Comet website for a list of participating stores.
