Ex-Arsenal and Spurs football star Sol Campbell has ‘whited-up’ along with other black celebs to encourage minorities to vote in the general election.
Campbell joins Homeland actor David Harewood, south London musician Tinie Tempah and Paralympic medallist Ade Adepitan in the hard-hitting Operation Black Vote campaign.
The four of them appear with white faces on posters with photos taken by leading photographer Rankin.
Harewood, 49, helped launch the campaign in London today, saying voting was the only way to change institutions such as Westminster and make them more representative of a multicultural Britain.
He said: "What it brilliantly illustrates is that if you don't register to vote, you are quite literally taking all the vibrancy we have in our community off the table.
"If you don't register to vote, politicians don't really care about you, politicians aren't really caring about what you have to say, what you have to do, anything.
"The only way they talk to you is if you register to vote. That is when you become an important part of the electorate."
The deadline for registering to vote in the general election is next Monday.
