Harry Potter star Emma Watson turned on the Christmas tree lights at the opening of a winter ice rink.

The actress was joined by Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean at a star-studded opening party for Somerset House ice rink season in London.

The event runs until January 25 in association with Tiffany & Co.

Watson turned on the lights on the Tiffany Christmas tree decorated with huge blue ice skates. She said she was "absolutely delighted" to be officially performing the switch-on.

Wearing a red scarf and a black coat, she added: "I've been coming here since I was about 13 and I absolutely love it. It's Christmassy and wonderful."

Torvill and Dean took to the ice to perform a routine to Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend, with Dean placing a necklace from a Tiffany box around Torvill's neck.
