Anneka Rice shows her support for war-torn Ukraine at charity event

Anneka Rice put on a radiant display as she hosted charity event Ukraine Unplugged at London’s White Eagle Club on Sunday.

The 63-year-old showed her support for the war-torn country  by wearing the country’s flag colours to the event.

Anneka sported a coat with yellow and blue panelling, with a stitched ‘A’ on the left side and a shoulder pad design.  

She wore the coat over a black, scoop neck top and black trousers, cinching her waist with a black belt. 

Anneka added brown heeled boots to the ensemble, accessorising with a blue beaded necklace. 

The presenter looked radiant at the event, with a red-lip and a glowing makeup look, as her bleach blonde locks neatly fell alongside her jaw.

She hosted the event alongside TV presenter Penny Smith, which raised funds for the charity Choose Love, in support of their work with Ukrainian Refugees.

The night brought together stars of stage and screen to entertain the audience – including actors Allan Corduner, John Dagleish and Janie Dee. 

The supportive event comes as conflict is ongoing between Russia and Ukraine, with many charities stepping up to help refugees in the trying climate.

Many famous faces attended the bash, most wearing blue and yellow as they stood in solidarity – while a large Ukrainian flag hung on the stage.

Charity work is nothing new for Anneka, as the appearance follows the news that she is set to return to her eponymous Challenge Anneka show.

The nineties classic involved the presenter doing a series of challenges – usually to raise money for charity.

During his column in The Sun, Rod McPhee revealed that Anneka is in talks with Channel 5 for the return of the show, which ran from 1989-1995 on BBC1.
