Thanks Guv!
Actor James Gaddas who plays the governor in the ITV drama "Bad Girls" won £16,000 for Plan when he appeared on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire recently. James - who visited his sponsored child in Peru last year - told Millionaire host Chris Tarrant that Plan was a "wonderful charity". More than 5.5 million viewers watched the celebrity Special "Cops and Robbers". James partnered with The Bill actress Lisa Maxwell and the couple reached the £32,000 mark which was split between their respective charities. Last year James and the Bad Girls cast held a series of fundraising events to raise money for a new school in the small town of El Sauce, where James's sponsored child, Yacqueline, lives.
Plan chief executive Marie Staunton said: "We'd like to thank James and the cast of Bad Girls for all their support over the past year. We're so pleased that James chose us as his charity for Millionaire and I know the community in Peru will be delighted!"
