Liz Hurley will be the belle of a charity ball.

The model and actress is to co-host the Glamour in Gloucestershire Ball with the Earl St Aldwyn, on Friday.

The inaugural event is in aid of Hop, Skip and Jump, at Seven Springs, near Cheltenham.

Ms Hurley, who lives on her 100-acre farm at Ampney Knowle, near Cirencester, is president of the centre which supports children with special needs.

The base offers arts and crafts, an adventure playground, a multi-level soft play area, a snooker table, sensory garden, bicycles and slides and two sensory rooms with optic and ultraviolet lights and music to help stabilise children's emotional state.

Ms Hurley said: "The staff do a fantastic job in making the centre a really special place where children with special needs, physical disabilities and life-threatening illnesses can play and enjoy the things other children can take for granted.

Ball guests will enjoy a Champagne reception, three-course dinner, an Elizabeth Hurley Beach catwalk show and dancing.

The event is sponsored by Beards jewellers, Cheltenham, and others including Ecclesiastical Life and Gullivers Sports Travel.
