The two stars are rumoured to be the new faces of Marks & Spencer

Helen Mirren and Katie Piper are set to become the new faces of M&S after they were spotted shooting the high street giant's latest ad campaign.

The Oscar-winning actress and the inspirational campaigner were snapped taking part in the £500,000 shoot in St Katharine Docks in London this weekend.

Although Marks & Spencer are keeping schtum on the ads for now, it's understood that the twosome posed for acclaimed photographer Annie Leibovitz for the new campaign, according to a report in The Sun newspaper.

Pictures leaked onto the web today appear to show British songstress Laura Mvula taking part too, which is certain to skyrocket her profile.

If confirmed, the M&S adverts would mark the first high profile modelling campaign for Katie, who was attacked with sulphuric acid in 2008. Since her ordeal, the resilient 29-year-old has undergone reconstructive surgery on her face, become a charity campaigner for burns survivors and forged a successful TV career.

The rumoured new faces of M&S will follow in the footsteps of Dannii Minogue, Myleene Klass and Twiggy, who have all appeared in commercials for the store in the past.
