HAMPSHIRE TV star Amanda Holden has pledged her support for a national children's campaign.

Amanda, who was brought up in Bishop's Waltham, is among the celebrities backing the Show You Care with the LINDT Bear campaign, which supports BBC Children in Need.

She has been photographed alongside her signed, ornamental version of the trademark chocolate LINDT bear.

The bear will then be auctioned to raise money for the campaign.

Other celebrities to have signed bears up for auction include Nicole Scherzinger, Gary Barlow, Alexandra Burke and Little Mix.
