Corrie stars raise money for charity

A charity auction was held recently at the Great John Street Hotel in Manchester to raise money for the Coronation Street 50th Anniversary Appeal, which supports several charities picked by the cast. Actors Craig Gazey, Antony Cotton and Jimmi Harkishin were up for er... grabs, so to speak, as they auctioned themselves off for either dates or as a tour guide for a set visit. Jennie McAlpine helped as auctioneer and other Corrie stars were there in support, some even lending their talents to entertain the crowd including Debbie Rush, Andy Whyment and Katherine Kelly. The auction received lots of support and raised over £30,000 plus proceeds yet to be counted from a silent auction and raffle. Well done all!
