British actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw has been named as UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency's latest Goodwill Ambassador, having supported the charity and advocated for refugee rights since 2018.

The Misbehaviour star commented 'I’m so thankful to have the opportunity to work in support of refugees and help amplify their voices. I am always amazed by their courage and strength in the face of such seemingly insurmountable odds and it’s a real honour to play a part in sharing their stories. The Covid crisis has made us all aware of the fragility of the lives we build and the importance of doing all we can to support those who have had to leave the place they call home'.
