TV presenter Melinda Messenger is to follow in the footsteps of Liz Hurley by switching on the Christmas lights in Cirencester this year.
The 33-year-old mother of three from Swindon will flick the switch in the town's market square although the date has yet to be announced.
Last year the actress Liz Hurley attracted a crowd of hundreds when she turned up to switch on the lights in what has become her home town.
