EastEnders star Lacey Turner has been announced as an ambassador for Rays of Sunshine, and will help to grant 'magical wishes' for critically ill children while raising awareness and funds for the charity.

Turner commented 'As a mum to a young family, I cannot begin to imagine how devastating it must be to hear the news your child is living with a serious illness, which is why the work Rays of Sunshine does to bring joy and hope to those families is so important. I’m really looking forward to helping the charity continue spreading sunshine in the future'.
