FORMER X Factor star Chris Maloney will perform at an event in aid of homeless charity Teardrops to be held at the Mercure Hotel.

Called ‘Under The Stars’, the event has been organised by Teardrops and Kristina Metcalf, head of business development at Luxor Group, who was recently made an ambassador of the charity.

The evening will bring together live entertainment, charity auctions and more.

Chris, from Liverpool, who shot to fame in 2012 on The X Factor and has also appeared on Celebrity Big Brother, will be performing a medley of songs.

St Helens-based Teardrops is a non-profitable organisation set up to support the homeless in the town and also in Halton and other surrounding areas in the North West.

As ambassador, Kristina has been devising new, innovative fundraising ideas and organising events to raise awareness of everything Teardrops does for the communities.

She said: “It’s great to have Chris on board for our ‘Under the Stars’ charity event. It’s going to be a special night all in celebration of the fabulous work Teardrops does across the region.

“With live entertainment and lots more planned for the evening, including a charity auction, we would encourage everyone to buy a ticket and support this fantastic local charity.”

Under The Stars takes place on Friday, September 15 at 6 pm.

Tickets are £15 and can be purchased by phone on 0151 475 5042 or by emailing info@luxor-estates.com
