CAT Deeley was the star attraction at Ravens Wood School when she joined pupils in the fight against HIV.
The television presenter is spearheading the Break the Silence campaign by the United Nations Information Centre, which aims to get young people around the UK to learn more about the virus.
Her arrival at the Bromley school sparked huge excitement among the children, who joined the star in registering their support online through a UN volunteering website www.netaid.org
The SMTV star chatted to children and teachers before giving a unique insight into the UN campaign.
Deputy headteacher Sean Heslop said: "She was fantastic with the children and gave up a lot of her time to talk about the issues involved with this worthwhile campaign."
