FAMOUS faces from the world of TV soaps are backing Lancaster's CancerCare charity in its Silver Jubilee year.
Soap fans can see their favourite stars at Morecambe Football Club, when a team drawn from Coronation Street and other shows play in a charity football match.
On Sunday July 27, the Soap Stars will be playing against the Bay Radio All Stars at Chr
istie Park.
The event has been organised by CancerCare and Heysham Power Stations.
Helen Hartin, CancerCare's senior fundraiser, said: "We are delighted the Soap Stars team has agreed to play in the game which I'm sure will be of interest to many people.
"I know in previous years we've had lots of stars from the show and thousands supporting the game. We are also grateful to Morecambe FC and Heysham power stations for all their support.
"CancerCare is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year and so we have a number of high-profile events planned including this game, the Cross Bay Half Marathon and Cross Bay Walk both happening on August 10."
The gates open at Christie Park at noon, with kick-off at 1pm.
Admission at the turnstiles is £5 for adults; £3 for children and £12 for a family.
Martyn Butlin, of Heysham power stations, added: "It should be a great day out and a real chance to see some famous TV folk up close and in shorts!
"And the real winner will be CancerCare, as every penny raised on the day will go to helping support local people with cancer, their families and their carers, and those bereaved by cancer."
