Tony Hirst gets a grilling

Tony Hirst, who plays Coronation Street's Paul Kershaw, took part in Celebrity Grilling 3 at Restaurant Bar and Grill in Manchester, raising over £65,000 for Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital Charity.

Tony was on the boys team, captained by Christopher Biggins, which put on a winning performance to finish victorious on the night. 

Maurice Watkins CBE, Chairman of Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital Charity said: “We’re delighted with the success of Celebrity Grilling, which yet again was only made possible thanks to the generosity of Restaurant Bar and Grill and those who bought tickets to attend this special event. The money raised will help to ensure continued excellence in treatment, care and research at the hospital, improving the lives of thousands of children each year across the North West and beyond.”
