SINGER BEVERLEY Knight is backing Marie Curie's latest appeal.
The soulstress is calling on everyone to host a tea party in aid of the charity between June 20 and 29.
Last June the charity's Bloooming Great Tea Party appeal saw 6,500 tea parties held across the UK.
Now starring in the Bodyguard musical at the Adelphi Theatre in London, Miss Knight said: "I love nothing better than drinking lots of cups of tea along with eating a slice of my Mums delicious home-made carrot cake – the best in the world.
"I would urge everyone to gather their friends and family together and pop the kettle on. Then sit down and enjoy their favourite tea party treats.
"All the money raised will go towards funding the vital nursing care to people with terminal illness, provided by the wonderful Marie Curie nurses."
