Coronation Street actress Kimberly Hart-Simpson has gone a different direction - volunteering at a British Heart Foundation store since October. “I’ve gone to their shops near me for years, not just to shop but to chat with the staff because I became friends with them,” says Kimberly. “The charity have done a big volunteering drive as the numbers of shop volunteers they had fell after lockdown, so I’ve been doing it around my schedule and it’s become a home from home to me.

"I just hope that the police find out who it is."
Arsonists targeted the Denton Park Social clubhouse back in 2018.
Tony says it's an issue the club 'want to keep an eye on' as it looks forward to the new bowling season beginning in March.
