  I was thrilled to learn today that dishy actor Simon MacCorkindale is to visit Headway Cambridgeshire and will pass on some tips to brain injury survivors about remembering lines and overcoming nerves.

Meeting the star of stage and screen will make their day. It’s fantastic that Simon is taking time out from his hectic schedule to help them.

And I did not realise that he was born in Ely, close to where I live. I can tell you he is not a typical Fenny.

Simon actively supports Headway and will be visiting the Cambridge centre while starring at The Arts Theatre in the thriller Sleuth, by Anthony Shaffer. I shall certainly  book some tickets, and I’ve suggested that we take a group of our service users along to see him at the theatre too.

I know Simon used to be a bit of a heart throb, and he certainly does not seem to have lost his dashing looks. It will certainly be a pleasure to meet him on 20 May as vice-chair of trustees at Headway Cambridgeshire.

Simon is best known for his role as consultant Harry Harper in Casualty, but has also starred in countless other television and film productions, including Falcon Crest, Manimal, Robin of Sherwood and even Dynasty.

Thank you Simon!!!

The uncle of a missing teenager who vanished from her home in the Costa del Sol on New Year’s Day has asked me to highlight her case.

The stepfather of 15-year-old Amy Fitzpatrick is offering a “substantial” reward for information about her disappearance.

Four months on, there is still no news about what happened to Amy, who is from Dublin, despite extensive searches using a police team of 200.

Detectives are continuing the hunt for Amy, who vanished from Mijas Costa. She was last seen at 10pm as she left a friend’s home in the tourist resort of Riviera del Sol, saying she was going to walk home. She had no money and wasn’t carrying her mobile telephone.

Police have appealed for information about a white Ford Fiesta with a UK number plate owned by a family friend, which went missing at the same time as Amy.

A government spokesman in the region said it was difficult to believe the youngster left voluntarily.

Police are now looking for a second car connected to the case, although no description has yet been released.

In memory of those who are still missing.
