Matalan has kicked off its annual charity campaign with a host of stars taking centre stage - including actress Anna Friel, EastEnders actor Larry Lamb, and his presenter son George, and Britain's Got Talent judge Alesha Dixon.

For the third year running the retailer has teamed up with Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool to raise money for the work they do.

Matalan CEO "The work the charity is doing is so important, the partnership allows us to be part of something truly special. To to be able to support such a worthy cause is an honour."

The collection is all about celebrating festive family downtime, with a range of red, white and green stripe pyjamas, perfect for everyone this Christmas.

The range is for all the family including mums, dads, brothers, sisters, best friends and all your loved ones, with prices starting from £2 to £10.

It features matching adults and children's pyjamas, a baby grow for little ones and a dog suit for man's best friend.

Alder Hey cares for 275,000 children every year and all of the money raised from the collection will be donated to the hospital.

Last year's campaign was supported by a host of celebs including Will Ferrell, Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears and Abbey Clancy.
