MINI starlet Olivia has landed a big role in the Lidl Christmas advert after spending three weeks in Slovenia filming it.

Olivia Hogg, from St Helens, is a budding actress and model despite just being five-years-old.

She landed the role in the festive advert, beating thousands for a part for the major German supermarket brand.

Her mum Danielle Beckwith says that Bleak Hill student Olivia is "very excited" about seeing the advert and the advertising campaigns across the stores with her face on it.

The Lidl advert is featured across 30 international countries.

Olivia is also on the cover of the Lidl Christmas Toy Guide, interior shop signage and other various media for the Lidl Christmas campaign.

This role is the latest in a long line, which include adverts for Warburtons, Utilita Energy, Joie Baby, Drayton Manor Resort and modelling for BabyGo, HTI Toys and Very.

Danielle said: “Olivia does act and modelling and really loves it; people always say she looks like a little Moana and she’s done a few things now but this is the biggest thing yet.

“We went over to Slovenia for three weeks and it was wonderful to film there with someone who directed the likes of Les Miserables.

“She’s very excited and made up to have seen herself in the advert as is her little brother, I’m just so proud of her as all she talks about is acting and this is a big deal for her.”
