Star attraction

Presenter of Channel Four's 10 Years Younger Nicky Hambleton-Jones spent the afternoon helping customers pick the perfect pair of glasses at Horrocks and Boyd in Kingston upon Thames after the practice won the visit in a competition run by Transitions.

Last Thursday's visit generated a lot of excitement, according to practice owner Joanne Boyd (pictured left with patient Jan Hartley and Hambleton-Jones). 'We have had a very positive reaction from customers and it has been fantastic having Nicky here.

Customers have been much more adventurous in their choice and some have bought multiple frames.' Hambleton-Jones added: 'People seem to be moving away from delicate frames to something that is a little bit more dramatic and sexy.'
