Happy to help

ANYBODY who’s ever had a loved one stay in a hospice will tell you that these organisations do amazing work to help others.

That’s why I was delighted to recently support the charity ball in aid of Shooting Star Children’s Hospices.

My partner Raquel Reno was also pleased to sing at this year’s event, where we partied alongside the charity’s executive vice president Karen Sugarman and patrons Dame Joan Collins, Tony Hadley and Simon Cowell.

What did I bid for in the charity auction? I’m pleased to say that Raquel and I will be joining Dame Joan for lunch in Saint-Tropez, the bidding for which raised a record amount of much-needed funds.

We also successfully bid for a walk-on part in a new film with Terry Stone, the producer and star of the Rise Of The Footsoldier movies. Thankfully, I don’t think my part will be a speaking one!
