Recounting the story of Aladdin to a captivated audience of youngsters the actress, who is best known as one of the presenters of Channel Five's Milkshake said the reading had gone really well: 'The children really loved it. They were really concentrating hard which I wasn't expecting as they were really young they were amazing.'

Naomi Wang, who attended with Aurora, three, and Audrey, two, said the session was great fun: 'We saw the pantomime and thought it would be lovely to see Kiera too. We have the book of Aladdin at home so the children are really into the story. We really enjoyed it,' she said.
