A Wigan couple will be braving new heights and jumping out of an aeroplane (don’t worry, with parachutes) to raise money for their ‘lovely’ friend’s local children’s charity.

Make A Wish UK, which grants wishes for poorly kids across the country, is launching a new fundraising scheme called Wear What You Wish and is urging everyone to dress up as what they wanted to be when they were younger.

Neighbours Darren Mellor and Andy Harris pulled a 63-year-old woman and the man, 55, from the blaze on Brooklands Close around 6am on Wednesday morning.

The 43-year-old has since been inundated with requests from happy couples desperate for the Million Love Songs singer to attend their nuptials and make their big day the Greatest Day.
