Jason Donovan sent a heartfelt thank you to Captain Tom Moore who has raised over £30 million for the NHS.

Captain Tom is walking one hundred lengths of his 25-metre back garden before he turns 100 years old at the end of April, and has raised an impressive amount to help the under-funded service as it continues to struggle amid the coronavirus pandemic.
