An Emmerdale star has raised funds for Cornerstone Salford by winning on BBC One show Bridge of Lies.
Emmerdale’s Chris Bisson announced at the start of the show that he was was looking to raise funds for Cornerstone Salford. He was joined by EastEnder Danielle Harold, Hollyoaks’s Lucy-Jo Hudson and Coronation Street’s Simon Gregson in the celebrity version of the popular quiz show, which is hosted by ex-Eastenders hard man Ross Kemp.
Chris Bisson told Ross Kemp: “I’m playing for a homeless refuge where I grew up called Cornerstone, which is run by Caritas Salford.” Bridge Of Lies requires a group of contestants to individually take turns to cross the ‘Bridge of Lies’, a digital floor which shows both correct and incorrect answers in a chosen category, and build up a prize fund which contributes toward a final cash prize. The quartet managed to win £6,900 for their respective charities.
Cornerstone is a day centre run by Catholic charity Caritas Salford, supporting those in Manchester who are experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness.
Writing on X, formerly known as Twitter, Cornerstone Salford thanked Chris. “Thank you to the amazing @ChrisBisson who took part in Bridge of Lies on BBC One tonight in aid of our Cornerstone Centre. Well done Chris. Thanks for choosing our charity to support,” the charity wrote.
