Charity soap dancers

Stars of 'Emmerdale' are set to put their dancing shoes on for charity.

The soap favourites have teamed up with the Madd! For Dance school in Shaw and will have go at Latin and ballroom dancing at Rochdale Town Hall on Saturday 18 February from 7.30pm.

Some of the stars taking part in the event to raise money for the Blossom Appeal include Nicola Wheeler (Nicola de Souza), Kelvin Fletcher (Andy Sugden), Charley Webb (Debbie Dingle), Matthew Wolfenden (David Metcalfe), Eden Taylor-Draper (Belle Dingle), Chris Chittell (Eric Pollard) and former Emmerdale actor Chris Hargreave.

The Blossom Appeal started seven years ago by staff at the North Manchester General who helped raise money for breast cancer patients.

The group was made up of breast care nurses, staff from the hospital and patients and relatives who had undergone breast treatment at the hospital.
