Kate Beckinsale has been announced as an ambassador for Russell Hobbs, and is set to work with the British brand as it launches in the US.

Through the campaign, Beckinsale - selected because she 'embodies British heritage and classic style' - will share her favourite recipes and tips for home entertaining, and she commented 'Russell Hobbs appliances make life at home easy and enjoyable. The products add a sweet touch of nostalgia to my every day, and I am so excited to partner with such an iconic brand'.
