He told Chad on Saturday: "I promised, at the civic send-off for Becky and our Paralympians, that I would get her a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes if she won gold.

"I have already been in touch with them to try to get a gold pair for her that can be presented at our celebration night for her next Tuesday (26th August).

"Gold would seem to be the most appropriate, though I hope she will also be able to pick any pair she wants."

Becky's parents Steve and Kay have also promised a pair of her favourite Christian Louboutins designer shoes.

And Becky joked after her gold medal triumph on Saturday: "I have already e-mailed my mum to say the ones I want. Christian Louboutins is my favourite designer."

Bigger financial rewards are sure to follow for the swimmer who didn't even have a sponsor entering the Olympics, according to reports.

But in Mansfield, the reward will come in the shape of a celebration to mark her return to home town on Tuesday 26th August.

The day will include an open-top bus parade, a fireworks events in the Market Place and a party, 'Becky's Do', at the Civic Centre.

Then just a few hours later the double Olympic champion will set off on a well deserved holiday . . .
