Emma Watson skates into the Christmas spirit as ice rink opens but Tania Bryer takes tumble and breaks wrist


got into the Christmas spirit by hitting the ice at Somerset House - but not as hard as former telly favourite Tania Bryer.
While 18-year-old Watson cut a stunning figure as she glided around in the forecourt of the 18th century building, former Sky News weather presenter Bryer took a tumble and was rushed to hospital via ambulance with a fractured wrist.
The celebs had gathered for the switching on of the Tiffany Christmas tree next to the seasonal skating rink in central London.

Harry Potter star switched the lights on before Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean performed a routine for the audience.
Watson said: 'I'm thinking about skating, but Torvill and Dean will be a hard act to follow and it depends how brave I'm feeling.'

She clearly had plucked up the courage later, tentatively stepping out and then gliding around with the likes of Kate Middleton's sister Pippa and actor Robert Lindsay.
Watson turned up to the Tiffany and Co. Skate at Somerset House event trussed up in a ruby scarf, complete with a flowing black coat and disco-style dress.

And she was wearing some very pricey Tiffany and Co. jewellery, including a £61,500 platinum diamond Victoria Bracelet and £23,400 platinum diamond earrings.

The teen actress was probably enjoying taking some time out, having had a busy schedule on  her hands of late.
Over the summer she was spotted regularly on the fashion network, attending Paris and London Fashion Weeks to name a few.
