Personalities including Fearne Cotton, Katie Piper, Shaparak Khorsandi, Nadiya Hussain, and Louise Pentland, have been unveiled as ambassadors for World Book Night, an annual event led by The Reading Agency, taking place April 23.

Cotton commented 'I can vouch for how uplifting a book can be, so I am so excited to be an ambassador for such an important campaign! Books are the perfect escapism from a tough day, month or year. They can be impactful, thoroughly enjoyable and expansive, each in their own way'.
