Dozens of famous faces across the worlds of TV, film, radio, comedy, music and sport have modelled an array of preposterous, pre-owned pullovers to launch Save the Children’s annual festive fundraiser.
The celebrities pulled on the colourful pre-loved festive knits to urge the nation to swap, buy second-hand or re-wear a pre-loved jumper for Christmas Jumper Day on December 12.
Stars getting into the festive spirit included singers Olly Murs and Myleene Klass, presenters Alison Hammond, Laura Whitmore and Sophie Morgan (pictured above), actor and presenter Joe Swash, Loose Women panellist Nadia Sawalha and Love Island’s Olivia Bowen and actress Ashley Jensen.
Also giving some second-hand sweaters a new lease of life were comedians Dom Joly (pictured below), Jen Brister and London Hughes, Ted Lasso star Ellie Taylor, TV presenter and Paralympian Ade Adepitan, Olympic diving medallist Noah Williams, Bridgerton star India Amarteifio, choreographer and ex-Strictly Come Dancing judge Dame Arlene Phillips, teacher and Tik Tok star Shabaz Ali, Great British Bake-Off finalist Sandro Farmhouse and radio presenter Joelah Noble.
Since launching in 2012, Christmas Jumper Day has raised over £37 million to create lasting change for generations of children. The money raised supports children in the UK and around the world to stay safe, healthy and learning.
You don’t even have to buy a new one. Just grab any old thing from the back of the cupboard and cover it with stickers, tinsel, glitter, baubles or whatever you fancy. Or pick up a tree-mendous pre-loved festive jumper from a Save the Children shop.
Sign up your school, workplace or family and friend group today at www.christmasjumperday.org then on the big day, donate what you can to Save the Children to help children in the UK and around the world stay safe, healthy and learning.
