Ross Chisholm, Luke Wallace, George Lowe, Chris York, Sam Twomey and Olly Kohn joined Max Clifford and Donal McIntyre along with a host of entertainers to bring some happiness to the children and some welcome distraction to their parents.

The picture shows the players (excluding Olly Kohn who clearly has more sense!) having taken the face painting activity a little too seriously and making the other "children" queue. It did however cause a furore of laughter and left Olly to tuck into the buffet full of cream cakes whilst ensuring the parents and hosts were fully aware that The Jolly Hog could cater for almost anything!

A fantastic effort was made as the players integrated with the children, made paper crowns and assisted with the making of sword balloons.
