Sure you can handle that gun, Tara? It girl gets trigger happy wafting weapon at her instructor during clay pigeon shooting



Never mind the clay pigeons, it was an innocent man that had a shotgun aimed at him when Tara Palmer-Tomkinson fooled about at a charity event.



The It girl-turned-author ditched her red carpet glamour for outdoors attire as she attended an annual charity gala at Whithorn Estate, Haslemere.



Tara, 39, seemed to ignore her instructor and wafted her weapon in whatever direction she pleased - which was mainly towards him.

Looking particularly trim, the former I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! contestant wore blue denim jeans and a granny knit cardigan with black wellies and later sported a huge pair of shades.

Thankfully, she removed her sunglasses to concentrate on her shooting, but got distracted halfway through the activity.

At one point, her unsuspecting instructor looked rather scared as Tara looked away with the gun still pointed in his direction.

She then decided it was time to aim, shoot and fire as she posed professionally, with her sunglasses back on, but that didn't stop the expert from supervising her.

The worried man continued to have a hold of the gun as Tara decided to get serious with it and aim for a target.

The charity event runs throughout the day, beginning with a rustic breakfast and continuing with a seated outdoor lunch and an exclusive auction, plus a whole day of team shooting.

The gala raises funds for music therapy charity Nordoff Robbins.
