An alpaca who lives just outside Salisbury has become the star of a new Christmas TV advert!

Reggie, from Barefoot Barns at Figsbury Ring in Firsdown, features in the festive video for retailer TK Maxx.

He emerges from his hut, resplendent in a green jumper, strutting to the Eve song 'Let Me Blow Your Mind'.

It's not the only exciting event for Reggie in recent weeks though!

He and fellow alpacas Norman, Allan and Joey have been visiting patients and staff at Salisbury District Hospital, at the request of the Stars Appeal.

The alpacas from Barefoot Barns in Firsdown have been up to Salisbury District Hospital for a 'wellbeing session'

They've arranged for the animals to come onto the green at the hospital site and get some food and stroking from those who saw them.
