The Traitors star Mollie Pearce has appeared in a series of videos alongside Marie Curie nurses as they prepare for a day working in end of life care to help spread awareness.

The disability model and healthcare assistant was the runner-up on the second season of the BBC One reality show, which aired earlier this year.

The video series is a twist on the #GRWM (Get Ready With Me) TikTok social media trend, aiming to raise young people’s awareness and understanding of the importance of end of life care.

The reality star also interviews Catherine Jones, a 27-year-old senior nurse from South Wales who provides training to care homes on end of life care.

“It’s been a privilege to be able to talk to some of Marie Curie’s wonderful nurses and get a better understanding of the care and support they offer to not just their patients, but their loved ones too,” Pearce said.

“And yet getting the right end of life care isn’t just important to those dying, but to the people left behind, like their children and grandchildren.

“I certainly wasn’t aware of how urgent the need is for better end of life care.”

The series has been created to support Superdrug’s new “Purchase for Marie Curie Nurses” campaign, where proceeds from selected products will be donated to the UK’s leading end of life charity.

The campaign aims to raise £200,000 to fund 10,000 hours of Marie Curie’s vital nursing service.
