The real-life Rudolph who was rescued from the brink of death four years ago; Thor, a 10-year-old reindeer from Staffordshire, was given just weeks to live after he was saved from an abandoned petting zoo.
Malnourished and too weak to even stand, Thor had been half-eaten by maggots and was about to be put to sleep by a vet when rescuer Nathan rushed to his side and took the animal home to his farm.
Now the lovable reindeer has carved out a career in film and television and is regularly papped posing with celebrities.
And it seems meeting reindeer isn't the only way Katherine Jenkins is getting in the mood for Christmas.
