We've been catching up with the Aberdeen mum who's in the final to get what's being billed "the sweetest job in the world."

38-year-old Gayle Veitch was one of more than 2600 people around the world who applied to become Chief Chocolate Taster for Mackie's of Scotland, which is based in Aberdeenshire.

All applicants had to submit an idea for a chocolate bar - Gayle went for raspberry and rose, named after her daughter Rose.

But she's got some tough competition - the other finalist is Jamie-lee O'Neill from Glasgow who's just eleven.

She's come up with a popcorn and peanut butter chocolate bar.
