Pet-themed teapots to raise money for charity

Celebrities have been busy designing pet-themed teapots in honour of the Blue Cross Tea Party 2013, and they are now available in an online auction!

The fifteen pet-loving celebrities include Arlene Phillips, Made in Chelsea's Ollie Locke and Cheska Hull, and author James Bowen, with the help of his former street cat, Bob.

Kristina Rihanoff, another of the teapot designers, said: "The work that Blue Cross does is so fantastic, and I loved designing my teapot! Get involved by holding your own Blue Cross Tea Party.

"Not only is a fantastic day to enjoy with your friends and family, but it will help make a difference to the lives of needy pets."

The teapots will be auctioned on the Blue Cross website from May 2-12, raising money to fund the charity's work. Visit the website to find out more about the Blue Cross Tea Party 2013, or click here to view the pet teapots.
