Brook switches on London Xmas lights

Kelly Brook has turned on the Christmas lights on Bond Street.

The actress, who is currently starring in West End comedy Fat Pig, said she was privileged to have been asked to flick the switch on the decorations.

"This is amazing, it's such an honour to be here, for all you guys to be here in the cold," she said.

"I am so excited to turn on the lights. I hope you are all going to join me in counting down."

The switch-on was accompanied by a street party with mulled wine and mince pies, as well as a charity tombola to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity.
