Amber Le Bon might only be 25-years-old, but it seems that she like nothing more than a night out on the town with her parents.

After being spotted out and about with Simon and Yasmin Le Bon in recent months, the model told us that she's far from embarrassed by them as they're just 'like her friends'.

Le Bon, who is the face of the British Heart Foundation’s Tunnel of Love event alongside Jim Chapman, admitted that she has 'huge amounts' of fun with her family.

She told us: "I really like going out with my parents, they are parents but also like my friends and we have huge amounts of fun together.

"Parents always try to embarrass their children, in a friendly way, it's their prerogative, you just have to not let yourself be embarrassed, I find it funny."

Speaking about the advice they gave her about being in the public eye, Le Bon said: "They have given me the same advice probably any parent would, which is to be nice, friendly and to be my own person not having to do what everyone else is doing. "

This year's event, which takes place on November 11, is an evening of art, fashion and games, taking place at the Victoria & Albert Museum.

Le Bon said: "Fashion and art are both really important to me, fashion is my business and also something that I've been surrounded by since I was little, and the same really with art."

Chapman, 27, who is one of the most influential fashion vloggers in the country, admitted that his new found fame has been life-changing.

He told us: "Suddenly becoming popular and influential has completely changed my life. I come from fairly humble beginnings and now I have the best job in the world and get to experience some incredible things

Talking about his new found style icon status, he added:

"It’s kind of snuck up on me and I haven’t really taken stock. I think that's a good thing though; If I thought about it too much I’m pretty sure I would feel pressure to always look good and I’d start over-thinking everything."

British model Amber Le Bon and fashion vlogger Jim Chapman are the faces of the British Heart Foundation’s Tunnel of Love event. An evening of art, fashion and games the event will be taking over the Victoria & Albert Museum on Wednesday 11 November.

Tickets are now on sale and can be purchased at www.bhf.org.uk/tunneloflove. All proceeds from Tunnel of Love will go towards the BHF’s Mending Broken Hearts Appeal, which aims to bring new hope of a cure to over half a million heart failure patients living in the UK.
