CREWE gymnast Rachel Perris will see herself up in lights when she is beamed from Coca-Cola’s iconic Piccadilly Circus screen in London.
The 16-year-old has been chosen to star in a new advertising campaign by the soft drinks company.
Rachel will be competing at the Special Olympics National Games with over 1,700 other athletes. She was given the full VIP treatment at a photo shoot in London with renowned sports photographer Graham Hughes, whose past subjects include gold medal winning Olympians Jessica Ennis and Bradley Wiggins .
She said: “I can’t wait to show my friends my poster in Crewe and I can’t believe I’m going to be up in Piccadilly Circus.”
Rachel will appear in advertising to celebrate the 35-year partnership between Coca-Cola Great Britain and the sports charity Special Olympics Great Britain.
