Dame Dame Emma Thompson has lent her support to children's charity Barnardo's, fronting the Kidsmas campaign, which aims to 'raise vital funds to help vulnerable children feel happy and safe this Christmas time'.

The Nanny McPhee star features in a video interview with two young co-hosts as part of the campaign, and commented 'I was delighted to meet Imani and Tali. They kept me on my feet with such great questions. Barnardo’s does the most incredible work supporting children right across the country and I really hope the Kidsmas campaign can help spread some festive magic for vulnerable children this Christmas'.
