The Lightning Seeds and John Thomson unite to help launch new charity gala

The Legacie Foundation is being launched with a fundraising gala in Liverpool tomorrow – and a host of celebrities are set to be in attendance for the inagural event

Liverpool is set to mix business with pleasure tomorrow for a little midweek treat involving some of the country’s favourite artists.

Prominent businessman John Morley is orchestrating a star-studded fundraising gala that will combine celebrities, music, and sport to aid disadvantaged youngsters.

Morley, the founder of the award-winning property firm Legacie, is launching a new charity initiative – The Legacie Foundation – with a glitzy evening in his hometown to raise funds for local charities.

The event will draw famous faces from TV, music, and sport to Liverpool, including Cold Feet’s John Thomson, who will host it. The legendary band The Lightning Seeds is also slated to perform live on the night.

Proceeds from the gala will support several community-driven causes, such as the Liverpool FC Foundation, Alder Hey Children’s Charity, and The Inclusive Hub, which strive to enhance the lives of young people across the region.

Morley has already been a significant supporter of the Football For Change charity initiative, having partnered with Premier League footballers to raise funds for impoverished young people.

John Morley shared his thoughts ahead of the event: “I’m proud to be launching The Legacie Foundation here in Liverpool. This gala fundraising evening is about giving back – pulling people together to help change the lives of disadvantaged young people in our communities.

” These charities do incredible work, and we want to make a real difference with the funds raised on the night. It is important for Legacie to give back. It is brilliant to have John Thomson and The Lightning Seeds involved. “

The star-studded gala, expected to draw big names from entertainment, business, and sport, as well as major partners of Legacie and its charitable work, promises to be an unforgettable night.

” Some days you feel empowered. Other days, you just want to cry under the duvet and hide, “Rachel said on HELLO! ‘s Second Act podcast”. It is sad and obviously, we feel things ourselves, but we feel them for our kids as well. “

She added that she struggled with” mummy guilt “during the divorce and worried about how her daughters would be affected by not only the end of their parents ‘ marriage but their father’s wedding to someone else.

Alex got remarried in February and is expecting a son with his new wife. Meanwhile, the same year Rachel and Alex broke up, she participated in Dancing On Ice, where she met and started dating professional ice skater Brendyn.

But last month, after three years of dating, their relationship ended”. It is incredibly sad and a relatively recent thing. Both Rachel and Brendyn felt there was no way forward for them.

“Rachel recently took herself to Marbella with her two daughters to get some much-needed headspace, and Brendyn and his young son have now moved out of the family home into a flat. There is still a lot of affection there, and no regrets”.

Freddy Brazier reveals sweet way he plans to honour Jade Goody when he becomes a dad

Freddy Brazier has shared his thoughts on becoming a dad with girlfriend Holly Swinburn, admitting he has a potential baby name in mind already

Dad-to-be Freddy Brazier, 21, has revealed he doesn’t have a fixed address ahead of welcoming his first child into the world.

The youngest son of late Big Brother legend Jade Goody admitted he wasn’t living with dad Jeff Brazier, instead “couch surfing and loving life”, as he opened up about how he feels about becoming a parent himself.

Freddy and his pregnant on-off girlfriend, Holly Swinburn, made their red carpet debut as a couple at the Pride of Britain Awards last night. Posing together outside the Grosvenor Hotel in London together this evening, Freddy and Holly looked smitten and very much together.

In a new interview, Freddy disclosed: “I’m not living anywhere exactly. It’s a bit of a complicated one. I’m just staying with my friends, couch surfing and loving life. I love a sofa and an air bed”.

Chatting with Closer magazine, the dad-to-be shared how he plans to honour his late mother when his child arrives. “I actually think if the baby is a girl, I’ll call her Jade”, he admitted.

“I think that would be really mad to do so, but I don’t know. We might think of some other names, not that I prefer them, but no one can take that name away from me, so who knows?”

He later admitted he is surprised he hasn’t become a father sooner. “I always knew I was going to be a young dad”, he mused. “It was always going to come at some point. I’ve been silly in the past. I’m surprised it didn’t come earlier, but I’m happy”.

After announcing Holly’s pregnancy, Freddy broke his silence in August by taking to Instagram to share his joy with followers. He posted a photograph of the Canary Wharf skyline, writing in the caption: “I’m actually a DILF to be! !”. He has since posted snaps of Holly and referred to her as his ‘baby mother’.

Meanwhile, his brother Bobby recently revealed his excitement at becoming a “funcle”. Speaking to The Sun, he disclosed he learned the news from his father but ‘ didn’t know what to believe ‘ at first.

Bobby went on to explain that the baby will bring the family together closer than ever before. He enthused: “It’s going to be a team effort. Undoubtedly it will bring us together. My dad is uber supportive and I’m hoping I can take some of that and raise the baby together”.
