Macmillan Cancer Support has announced model and fitness expert Andrew Cooper as a health and fitness ambassador.

Cooper, who will help raise awareness of the charity's services and encourage people to take on events to raise money, commented 'I'm so excited to be a health and fitness ambassador for Macmillan. My dad was diagnosed with cancer eight years ago so I've seen first hand the devastating impact a cancer diagnosis can have, and how vital Macmillan's support can be. My involvement is about inspiring people to get active - whether it's a walk around the block after treatment or taking on a challenge to raise money for Macmillan'.
