TV STAR and model Nell McAndrew brought some seasonal cheer to a new campaign when she donned a slinky outfit made entirely of Christmas cards.

The Rethink Rubbish campaign and the Woodland Trust, a leading woodland conservation charity in the UK, asked her to wear the one-off creation as a timely reminder for businesses and householders to recycle their festive cards.

Cards can be posted in special recycling bins at all WHSmith and Tesco stores in the south and across the rest of the UK from now until February 1.

Nell said: "Last year 40 million cards were collected and recycled by the scheme - which is enough to fill the Royal Albert Hall twice over.''
