Madam Vivian Lin, 35, with her older five-year-old daughter, Alicia Chow, and three-year-old son, Aaron, after winning the Most Radiant Mum and Most Lovely Mum contest yesterday. Her one-year-old daughter, Aline, was not present. She won over $14,000 worth of prizes.

Over 100 contestants took part in the competition, in which only 12 mums were shortlisted for the finals.

The 12 finalists, ranging from 33 to 47 years old, each had to parade in a casual outfit and get through a question-and-answer session to see how well the mother knew her children and to test the bond between them.
