TV star and designer Lawrence Llewelyn-Bowen will turn on this year’s Blackpool Illuminations as part of a live switch-on concert at the Tower Ballroom.
He replaces actor and comedian Johnny Vegas, who announced last week that he would have to pull out due to ‘unforeseen personal circumstances’.
Llewelyn-Bowen, who has collaborated with the Illuminations for several years, and has designed a number of spectacular installations, will switch on the lights on Friday, September 2.
Commenting on the news, he said: “The Blackpool Illuminations represent something really special in the hearts of the British people and I am thrilled to be able to pull that famous switch in th magnificent Tower Ballroom.” His appearance as switch-on star coincides with the unveiling of a dazzling makeover for the Golden Mile in which Llewelyn-Bowen has created a stretch of Art Deco-style features that will celebrate a golden age of 1930s glamour.
