Actress Felicity Kendal has joined a whole host of celebrities in designing her very own teapot for animal charity Blue Cross.

The 66-year-old has showcased her artistic talents by painitng her teapot, which will be auctioned off to rasie funds for the sick and homeless pets that the charity looks after.

'The Good Life' star posed up with her very own pooch, George, for the campaign and is clearly very passionate about helping animals.

Other famous faces who have lent their time to the campaign include 'Broadchurch' star Olivia Colman, singer Liz McClarnon and Arlene Phillips.

"I have been busy mastering my baking skills for the Blue Cross Tea Party and I want to appeal to all the pet lovers out there to do the same," Phillips said of her involvement.

"I used to really struggle with baking but ever since I did the Great British Bake Off, I love to shut myself away in the kitchen for a few hours whipping up a Victoria sponge or some scones to share with the family. I actually find it very therapeutic, and what’s great is that anyone can have a go to help this fantastic cause.

"With a huge rise in stray and abandoned pets over the last few years, Blue Cross needs our help more than ever to continue caring for pets in need."

The Blue Cross teapot auction will take place from May 2-12. The public can get involved and bid on their favourite pet-inspired teapot by visiting www.bluecross.org.uk/teapots.
