- HEATHER GREENAWAY

STARS HAIL WINNING DUO

SCOTS gladiator Sabre and Love Island star Anton Danyluk have hailed a pair of Pride of Scotland winners as "two of the bravest young women they have ever met".

Schoolgirls Abbie Jarvis and Kaylynn Donald were victims of sickening attacks by other children and bravely waived their anonymity to back a Daily Record campaign to support victims of youth violence.

Both Sabre, aka Sheli McCoy, 35, and Anton, 29, say the stories struck a heartwrenching chord with them.

Kaylynn, 13, was brutally attacked on a school bus in Ladybank, Fife. Abbie, 14, was lured to a park in Glasgow and beaten unconscious as other kids filmed the vicious assault.

Sheli, who runs a gym in Dundee, said: "I welled up when I heard Kaylynn's story. I went to the same school and would have got the same bus.
