They all posed for a make-up-free photoshoot with famed photographer Rankin to help highlight the worthwhile appeal.

The initiative encourages women to be a natural beauty on Friday 8 November, by going without make-up and wearing a cute paw print face transfer instead. The paw print transfers are available in post offices throughout the UK."There are so many children and young people across the UK who need our help, so how could I say no to the BBC Children in Need BearFaced campaign," said Welsh TV star Alex, 36. "Join me and hundreds of other women going Bearfaced on 8 November."
