Former X Factor winner and guest judge Alexandra Burke dazzled audiences at the annual Diamond Ball in Liverpool last week, helping to raise £50,000 for the Prince’s Trust.

Alexandra – who has had hits including ‘Bad Girls’ and ‘Hallelujah’ – put on an exclusive performance for hundreds of guests at the beautiful St George’s Hall. The event was a great success and raised £50,000 to help disadvantaged young people in the North West get into work, training or education.

“It was great to be playing in Liverpool as the people are always so friendly and supportive,” said Alexandra. “The Prince’s Trust is a great cause and does fantastic work with young people across the region. I feel honoured to be able to help in some way.”

Coronation Street fans are in for a nice surprise – stars from the long-running British soap have just filmed a special celebrity episode of Who Wants to be a Millionaire for charity.

Jennie McAlpine, who plays Fiz Brown, and Samia Smith, who plays Maria Connor, joined Sally Whittaker (Sally Webster) and Michael Starke (Jerry Morton) for the first episode of the new series of the popular game show, each representing a charity close to their hearts.

“It’s much harder answering the questions in the studio than at home,” said McAlpine, whose father is the chairman of her chosen charity, Mood Swings Network. “You can be absolutely certain of an answer but still have doubts.”
