Katherine Jenkins Booed By Anti-Fur Campaigners

Singer Katherine Jenkins was booed by animal rights campaigners yesterday when she opened the Harrods winter sale. Protesters screamed "Shame on Katherine" as the mezzo-soprano arrived in a horse-drawn carriage. They brandished "No To Fur" signs as Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed ushered her inside.

But Katherine Jenkins – who is a staunch vegetarian – appeared unruffled and smiled broadly as she walked past the demonstrators. According to reports, Miss Jenkins stepped in after pop singer Leona Lewis rejected a lucrative offer from the Harrods boss to open this year’s sale. Miss Jenkins was also greeted by thousands of bargain-seekers.

Cuddling a Westie-poodle puppy sporting a sparkling diamond collar, Miss Jenkins said: "I was very excited to join the sales. I am a girl's girl, so obviously this is my idea of fun. Personally, I do not eat meat or wear fur, but people are entitled to their opinions."

John Wilson, from the Coalition to Abolish Fur Trade, said: "We are gathered here because of our disgust at Ms Jenkins who professes to be against animal cruelty and the fur trade."
