Mandy Moore wants to come to London as a tourist

The 26-year-old singer-and-actress was in the UK capital on Sunday (23.01.11) for the premiere of new Disney animated movie ‘Tangled’ – in which she voices the character of Princess Rapunzel – but admitted she never gets the chance to see the sights when she is in England because she is always working.

She told BANG Showbiz: "I love London.  It's one of my favourite cities in the whole world. I'm always happy to come here and there never seems to be enough down time because most of the time I've only come for work and there's never really any proper time to play tourist and walk around, so I'm always saying, 'Next trip I'm going to do this.’ ”

However, on this visit Mandy did manage to make a little time to indulge in one of her favourite pastimes - shopping.

The beautiful brunette said: "Of course there was one day off so it's like I'm a girl who has some of the best shopping here, so I had a whole little laundry list of things to do yesterday (22.01.11) and I really tried to hit the ground running. You've got to do a little Oxford Street, a little Harvey Nichols. All of the good, fun stuff. It was a good day."

Among the stars who attended the premiere of ‘Tangled’ with their excited children were Simon Cowell’s ex-lover Sinitta, pregnant TV presenter Myleene Klass and Gail Porter.
