A BABY from Bradford has a reason to smile as her mucky grin won her a prize in a national contest.

Abby MaCracken Dunn, now 10 months old, from Farleigh Wick, won runner-up prize in a competition to find the UK's "muckiest pup".

The contest, run by SMA Progress in partnership with Prima Baby magazine, searched for the baby who ended up with more food around their face than in their tummy.

Abby's photo, taken when she was five months old, was chosen from hundreds of entries and won her a baby walker with alphabet bricks and a wooden activity train.

Mum Mandy said: "Abby is just getting to grips with solid foods at the moment which means mealtimes can often be a bit messy. She looks so cute, but creates a lot of laundry."

A spokesman for SMA Progress said: "Abby's cheeky grin made all our judges smile and she clearly seems to be having a lot of fun while she experiments with more grown-up foods."
