Celeb egg-heads go up for auction
Chocolate Easter eggs with the faces of British celebrities etched onto them are going under the hammer to raise money for charity.
The confectionary features the recognisable faces of Victoria Beckham, David Beckham, Lily Allen, Prince Harry and Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
High street chocolatier Thorntons teamed up with design duo Id-Iom to create the bespoke eggs in a bid to "represent the spectrum of British culture".
Known for their graffiti-style art, the pair stencilled dark chocolate on to white Easter eggs to create the unusual portraits.
The celebrity eggs will go up for sale on eBay to raise money for the children's charity Barnardo's.
Fashion designer Henry Holland designed a 1kg egg with a replica of his family coat of arms, in line with his tartan-themed collection showcased at London Fashion Week.
And celebrity tattooist Louis Molloy - who has been responsible for many of David Beckham's tattoes - recreated swallows and bluebirds on his eggs, two of the most popular designs available at his studio.
