As part of the Foggy and Whit: The King and I, hit chat show, which visits Preston in September, Fogarty and his good friend and former British champion James Whitham have committed to raise funds for the hospice.
Frank Livesey, a Derian at Home nurse, said: “It was an absolute honour to show Carl around and introduce him to the children and families that we help.
“I’ve never met a more genuine, down to earth person and he took a real interest in the work that we do.”
Carl said: “The people behind Derian House do some amazing work and we couldn’t think of a better cause to get involved with.”
