Stars give up mattresses for a good cause
14/11/2011
A number of famous faces have given up their mattresses in favour of sleeping on the streets of London to raise money for a good cause.
Among those raising money through Centrepoint's annual Sleep Out was X Factor star Rebecca Ferguson, who also treated participants to a couple of songs.
Chloe Madeley was also in attendance with her father Richard, as were Radio 1 DJ Sara Cox and footballer David Ginola.
Other participants included people from the banking, legal and property industries.
"With over 80 thousand young people experiencing homelessness in the UK, it is essential that we raise awareness of this issue. People don't choose homeless, circumstances cause it," Rebecca Ferguson explained.
When asked what they would miss most during their night on the street, Richard Madeley said he would be longing for his mattress, while his daughter revealed she would miss watching Sex and the City before bed.
