A TEENAGER from York is starring in a major online retailer’s Christmas TV advert.

Olivia Caley, 15, of Strensall, won a role in Littlewoods’ flagship ad after taking part in her first ever TV commercial audition in London.

The Queen Ethelburga’s School pupil, who was signed to a theatrical agency earlier this year, said she was an ‘acting and musical theatre nut’.

She said is currently studying for a drama GCSE, and her ambition is to become an actress.

The advert, which is being shown during TV ad breaks as well as online, is called The Christmas Walk.

It features a family which scoops up their toys, fancy festive clothes and - in Olivia’s case - new headphones, before taking a walk together.

Olivia said she spent four days filming the ad in a London street, complete with fake snow.

“Friends keep calling and texting me to say they’ve seen me on TV,” she said.
