Local legend Will Mellor has been hard at work supporting a charity for children with life-threatening illness.

The actor has released a cover of 'Bring Him Home' in tribute to When You Wish Upon A Star - a national charity for which Will is a patron.

Will also appeared on the ITV game show Catchphrase, where he raised an incredible £16,500 for When You Wish Upon a Star.

The awareness and funds that Will has raised will help the charity continue creating magical experiences for seriously ill children and their families.

Will also helped raise awareness with a moving live performance of 'Bring Him Home' at Gorton Monastery, where he performed to a captivated audience to help raise more money and awareness for the charity.

"Being part of this charity means everything to me," Will said. "These children are facing things no one should have to go through, and if I can use my voice or platform to help make their wishes come true, I'll do it every time."

When You Wish Upon a Star CEO Anita Cleugh commented: "We are so proud to have Will as a patron. His passion, generosity, and talent have made a real difference to the children we support."
