Ant and Dec also appear, as well as couple Matt and Emma Willis, footballer Jill Scott, fitness expert Joe Wicks and singer Olly Murs.
Fans who upload their eyes closed selfies to takeamoment.uk will see their images – which are the heart of Take A Moment movement – displayed alongside the celebrities at the famous Piccadilly Lights.

The snaps are to encourage people to take a moment to stop, reflect and recalibrate.

Joe Wicks shared: 'When I ride a motorcycle, I'm off my phone, I'm focused, I'm sort of in a flow state. It’s not selfish. If you’re not at your best, then you can’t help everybody else.'
