The Saturdays star Mollie King has joined forces with the Born Free Foundation to support its Bear Me in Mind appeal to ensure the care of four orphaned bear cubs, one in Greece and three in Georgia.

The campaign highlights the plight of ten month old Ushka, who sustained a broken back and is now paralysed in both hind legs. King, who met Ushka on a recent visit, commented 'It was heart-breaking to see Ushka and to see his daily struggles and yet despite all that has happened to him he is the sweetest little bear and deserves all the help we can give him. I hope everyone will join our campaign to help our orphaned cubs'.
