The giant four statue outside the channel's London headquarters has been given a facelift by an artistic student.

The 50ft high steel statue was erected in 2007 and channel bosses recently held a competition to devise imaginative ways to decorate the logo.

Kingston University fashion graduate Hannah Gourlay won with her design Time to Breathe, in which each section of the steel skeleton is covered with fabric and gently inflated and deflated so it looks like it is softly breathing.

Miss Gourlay said: "Seeing the finished design was such an amazing feeling. In the early stages I made an inflatable cube with a light inside it and put it on top of my fridge. My housemate stood behind the fridge and breathed in and out of it."

The new-look statue, which also lights up, is the result of 10 months work.
