Stars including singer Nicole Scherzinger and British actor Simon Pegg have been photographed in mid-air for a new Oxfam charity campaign.

The organisation's new Lift Lives for Good campaign aims to publicise the charity's work in poverty-stricken communities around the world, and a number of famous faces offered to jump in the air for a striking advertising drive.

In the pictures, by celebrity snapper Rankin, Scherzinger is seen in a jump while fellow singer Eliza Doolittle appears to float like Peter Pan, and Pegg pulls a Superman-style pose.

Other stars who took part include Anna Friel, Harry Potter star Bonnie Wright, David Morrissey, former Supergrass frontman Gaz Coombes, and model Laura Bailey.
