Gogglebox's Tom Malone kind gesture to Liverpool as he's praised by fans

Gogglebox's Tom Malone Senior has been praised by fans for his kind gesture to a Liverpool-based charity.

Channel 4 stars Tom and Julie are joined on their iconic sofa with children Shaun and Vanessa. They have thrilled viewers with their banter and witty comments having invited viewers into their home for season 19 of the beloved series.

Away from the show, the couple regularly keep fans updated with their lives on Instagram. In their latest post, Julie revealed Tom will soon abseil down a 170ft tower.

Julie announced Tom is fundraising for the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation. Established in Liverpool in 1990, originally as the Lung Cancer Fund, the charity was renamed in tribute to Roy, presenter of the long-running BBC show Record Breakers.

Roy Castle OBE, who was a singer, dancer, comedian and presenter, died from lung cancer in 1994 having raised over £1million to support the foundation - the UK's only charity solely devoted to supporting those diagnosed with lung cancer.

Sharing a picture of his JustGiving page, Julie revealed Tom is doing a abseil down the Manchester Trafford Centre Barton Tower Abseil, on June 25 2022.

Immediately fans praised Tom for his charitable efforts. One said: "I will 100% support." Another commented: "Thank you for using your name and popular status to help raise money for such an amazing cause."

And a third added: "I already donate Tom as my husband has lung disease but thank you so much for supporting this cause."
