Victoria Pendleton shares her favourite indulgences as we race towards Christmas

HELLO!

Former Olympic cyclist Victoria Pendleton is planning to indulge this Christmas, which she says is a time for giving – and eating!  “Christmas in my household is very low key and it’s all about food!” the London 2012 champion tells HELLO!.  We hope that you will join Victoria and HELLO! by supporting this very worthy cause. We all like to be with our loved ones this time of year. For the families of patients at Great Ormond Street Hospital, this is especially true.  With your support, Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity could help fund family accommodation so mums, dads, brothers and sisters can stay close by, or help fund the creation of bigger rooms in new hospital wards so parents of the most seriously ill children can stay by their bedside 24 hours a day.  The charity also funds play specialists so that children can enjoy some festive fun despite going through very difficult times, and funds research and equipment that will enable the hospital to find new cures and save more lives.  Every donation to Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity will help keep families together this Christmas. And be sure to check back tomorrow to find out which of our wonderful celebs will be popping out from door number 16!

00:03Hi it's Victoria Pendleton here and wishing you a very Merry Christmas. Christmas in my household

00:09is very low-key and it's all about food. We've decided now that all the adults in the family,

00:15we only give edible gifts, so it's all about getting some chocolate treats or something a

00:20bit special. We don't have many special family traditions but I must insist everyone must wear

00:28a Christmas hat at the dinner table. Christmas is definitely a time to indulge and I think my

00:36biggest Christmas indulgent would probably be chocolate covered stem ginger. It's the only time

00:42of year I eat it and I absolutely love it. I have lots of fun childhood memories. I've got a

00:48twin

00:49brother and quite often we'd get exactly the same presents so it'd be a massive race in the morning

00:54to get down and open the presents as quickly as possible. I'd just like to say if you're thinking

00:59about possibly donating to charity this Christmas and giving some charity a really beautiful Christmas

01:04gift, bear in mind Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity. It's a charity close to my heart

01:09and they do so much good work.
