X FACTOR winners Leona Lewis and Matt Cardle popped helped to town to help out at an animal sanctuary.

The pair, who won the talent show in 2006 and 2010 respectively, were at Hopefield Animal Sanctuary in Sawyers Hall Lane, Brentwood, on Sunday for their Winter Wonderland event.

They were also joined by former pop singer and one-time X Factor boot camp mentor Sinitta for the day.

A reindeer was also present during the fun-filled festivities at the sanctuary which Leona is a patron of.
