Beth Tweddle will switch on this year's Blackpool Illuminations, alongside other Team GB athletes.

The Bunbury gymnast won bronze on the uneven bars at this year's London Olympics.

She'll be joined by Greg Rutherford, the first Briton to win Olympic Gold in the long-jump since 1964 and amateur boxer Luke Campbell, who won Gold in the bantamweight division.

This year marks 100 years of Blackpool Illuminations and the Switch-On is to be held on The Tower Festival Headland for the first time ever.
