MELKSHAM entertainer Andy Park, better known as Mr Christmas rubbed shoulders with model Melinda Messenger at a charity fundraising party.

Four-year-old Charlie Jarvis, who suffers from a rare cancer, was the special guest at the concert hosted by Melinda at Swindon's Brunel Rooms.

Mr Park joined a fun-packed bill which included The Rollin' Clones, headed by Mark Smallman as Mick Jogger, and west Wiltshire's teenage singing star Mimi Kevan.

Charlie's mum, Samantha, of Swindon, said: "People's kindness has been staggering. It has really hit me deep in my stomach."

Charlie, who was diagnosed a year ago with neuroblastoma, is due for her next scan on October 1.

Mr Park said: "It was an absolutely brilliant night, fantastic.

"It was great that Melinda agreed to be there and it was all for a wonderful cause."
