He said: “I’ve never been a runner but I like a challenge and it’s great to be able to support Springhill Hospice, Zen’s charity of the year.

“I’ve got my Bupa Half Marathon for Beginners training programme stuck to my fridge door and I am roughly working my way through it.

"The Cologne Half Marathon draws runners from across the world so I will be proud to represent Rochdale while raising funds for a great cause like Springhill Hospice.”

Mr Tang has set up a page where supporters can donate to Springhill Hospice:
