TWO former Brookside actors joined forces to add a little soap star glamour to a fund-raising evening at a holiday complex in Carnforth.
Michael Starke and Ricky Tomlinson (pictured) - who went on to find further fame in hit series The Royle Family - attended the comedy night and banquet held at the Pine Lake Resort in aid of the Variety Club of Great Britain.
The pair took charge of the auction and raffle, extracting generous donations from the 130 dinner guests.
Esther Williamson, of the Grand Vacation Company which owns the resort, said that it was hoped the evening event, and a kids fun day earlier on, would raise around £8,000 for the charity, which helps disadvantaged children.
