Celebrities have been wearing an array of colourful wigs to support this year's Wig Wednesday and raise money for children with cancer.

The event, organised by CLIC Sargent, a UK cancer charity offering support to young people and their families, is set to take place on May 21.

On Wednesday people across the country will be wearing wigs to raise money and show support for children and young people who may loose their hair during their treatment for cancer.

Dancing on Ice judge Ashley Roberts, Paralympic gold medal winner Hannah Cockroft, and actor Larry Lamb are among the stars who have showed their support for the charity.
