Leslie Grantham signs up to Star College campaign

The Citizen and Gloucestershire Echo today launch the Be a Star for Star campaign to overturn a Government decision not to award vital cash to the National Star College.

Former EastEnders actor Leslie Grantham is the first "star" to back the campaign, which hopes to pressure Prime Minister Gordon Brown to reverse the decision not to award more than £6 million funding.

The actor has good reason to support the cause because his youngest son, Danny, was born with Down's syndrome.

Now he is urging others to put their names to the online petition submitted to the Government, which nearly 3,000 people have signed up to.

Leslie said: "I'm urging everyone to back the Be a Star for Star campaign. This is a cause that's close to my heart.

"I'd encourage everyone to join in and sign the petition to the Prime Minister, lobby their MPs and make representations to overturn the decision to halt this much needed funding.

"It's obvious to me that the Government's priorities are in the wrong place. Having a disabled child myself, I fully understand the frustrations of the National Star College.

"I urge the Government to pull its finger out and keep its pledge to provide the funding as promised, and in so doing make the lives of all who benefit from the National Star College that much better."

Helen Sexton, principal of the college, said: "We're thrilled that Leslie and so many other people are signing up for the petition and that the Echo and The Citizen titles are helping us in the campaign.

Leslie................The Celebrity DJ!!!!

Many celebrities have been invited to broadcast their own shows from the Radio 1 studios.

A memorable such person was Elton John, who spun the platters that mattered at Egton House in both March 1975 and December 1976 with his shows 'EJ the DJ'.

Other special shows have included Boy George sitting in for David Jensen in 1983, Eastenders duo Tom 'Lofty' Watts and Leslie 'Dirty Den' Grantham presenting their own tribute to Motown in 1987 with a show called 'Hitsville E20'.

HANDS UP if you remember the moment Grant rumbled Phil and Sharon's steamy affair? Terrific TV often involves secret sexploits coming to the surface with the guilty party being caught with their pants down.

From the deafening drums of Eastenders to the lush lyrics of Neighbours, there's nothing quite like a good soap opera to keep you on the edge of your seat.

When it comes to seducing a friend's girlfriend, having an unplanned pregnancy, or battling the booze, nobody does it better than soap stars at the top of their game.

MY Sun users have been casting their votes on the nation's top TV talent and here is their Number One..................

1 - Dirty Den

A whopping 30.1 million viewers watched Dirty Den hand Angie her divorce papers after he found out his missus had been telling porkies about having terminal cancer.

This website was mentioned on 21 October 2006 on LBC 97.3 during an interview with Leslie on the Paul Ross morning show!!!

'Heard the Paul Ross show so visited your site.Wow this is amazing, the most comprehensive site on the web. Keep it up it's brill'
