Funnyman Vic Reeves will be trying to keep a straight face when he poses for sculptress Frances Segelman during an art exhibition on Saturday.

The Shooting Stars presenter, minus his sidekick Bob Mortimer, will be modelling for the Art 2001 exhibition at the All Saints Art Centre in Oakleigh Road North, Whetstone.

Playwright Jack Rosenthal, husband of Maureen Lipman the actress who was sculpted earlier in the year by Ms Segelman will also be modelling.

Ms Segelman, principal of the Sculpture Workshop in Barnet, will be attempting to create the perfect likeness of both men in under two hours.

Her other commissions have included Denise Van Outen, Terry Venables, Bruce Forsyth, Jilly Cooper and All Saints' Reverend Adrian Benjamin some ten years ago.

The event is in aid of the London Youth charity which supports youth clubs in underprivileged areas of the capital. Youth club members will also be displaying work at the exhibition which begins at 10.30am.
