Coronation Street star Antony Cotton and Loose Women panellist Jane Moore have been announced as patrons of Help for Heroes, and will champion the work of the military charity through various campaigns and events.

Cotton has been a Help for Heroes ambassador for several years, after one of his friends returned home from serving abroad, and commented 'It is a privilege and an honour to be a patron of Help For Heroes, and I promise that I will do all I can to help... My friend is now a beneficiary and is getting the help he needs'.
