Mariah Carey Connection

Mariah Carey is to switch on the Christmas lights at Westfield Shopping Centre in London, it has been announced.

The US pop diva will walk down a pink carpet, while butterfly confetti falls from above, to flick the switch later this month.

Grammy-winner Carey will be accompanied by eight children from the Help A London Child charity at the festive event, which organisers said would include pyrotechnics.
