Just when we thought their Christmas campaign was complete, Burberry have revealed their latest festive addition.

In an image just released by the brand, top British model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley poses entirely nude as she conceals her modesty with a Burberry Heritage scarf emblazoned with her initials.

Speaking of her role in the campaign and her loyalty to the brand, the 28-year-old said: “Burberry put me on the map."

"They shot me first on my 21st birthday, and have been very loyal to me since then. It was the ultimate job when I started modeling. If you were a Burberry girl, you’d made it."

Revealing her favourite thing about the festive period, Rosie said: "The wonderful thing about Christmas is getting two weeks where the phone just doesn’t ring so you can spend time with family and friends, and watching British films."

Other stars of the brand's Christmas campaign include Julie Walters, who played the role of Mrs Wilkinson, Billy Elliot’s ballet teacher in the original film, Sir Elton John, who wrote the music for Billy Elliot the Musical, James Bay, Romeo Beckham, Naomi Campbell, James Corden, Michelle Dockery, George Ezra and Rosie's brother Toby Huntington-Whiteley.

Speaking of the campaign, Creative Director Christopher Bailey said: "Billy Elliot is an incredible film full of so much joy and energy, so it was a real thrill and a great honour to be able to celebrate its 15 year anniversary through our Festive campaign."

"It was also a huge privilege to work with such amazing and iconic British talent – the cast are quite simply some of the biggest names in film, music and fashion and it was so much fun working with them all to make this special film."
