QUIZ fans can pit their wits against a team of celebrities at a charity fundraiser in Todmorden tonight.

Soapstars Jack Marsden (Heartbeat's Joe Dixon), Scott Wright (Corrie's Sam Kingston) and actress Alice Barry (Lillian Taylor from Shameless) will have their quiz sheets at the ready to take part in the event.

The quiz, being held at Todmorden Golf Club, from 7.30pm, is raising money for children's charity NCH.

Organiser Eva Speakman, one half of the Rochdale-based celebrity lifecoach team The Speakmans, from UKTV's A Life Coach Less Ordinary, is staging the event as part of her fundraising effort as she prepares to run the London Marathon on Sunday, April 13 for the charity.

"I have never run more than six miles before, and even that was on a treadmill," said Eva.

"However having had the privilege of working with the NCH, and seeing the fantastic work they do, I felt compelled."

There will also be an auction and raffle. Prizes include a signed cookbook and oven gloves from Gordon Ramsay and signed boxing gloves from Ricky Hatton.

For tickets, email Eva at info@nikandeva.com, or pick a ticket up from Todmorden Golf Club.
