TV actor Andrew Lancel becomes first Chernobyl Heart patron

Bill star helps to launch charity

TV regular Andrew Lancel, star of ITV’s The Bill, has signed up to become a patron of Chernobyl Heart. The busy actor, who lives with his family in London, has always been a passionate supporter of children’s charities.

Said Andrew: “I’m very proud to be associated with Chernobyl Heart, and honoured to be a patron. I hope I can be worthy and prolific in the exciting times ahead.

“There’s a lot to be done, and Nige and Jamie have kept me completely up-to-date with events during their recent visit to the Gomel Children’s Hospital in Belarus. I’m just glad to be able to help in any way I can.”

As the publicity drive for the new charity gets underway in earnest, Chairman Nige Burton gave his reaction to the news: “Andrew is a really great, genuine guy, and has a heart of gold. We are completely thrilled he’ll be helping us raise our profile in this way.”

Andrew is Chernobyl Heart’s first patron.
