Family fun day will have the X Factor

An X Factor favourite is set to feature at a Royton Family Fun Day in aid of cancer charities.

On September 30, the Duke of York in Heyside will be a hub of family treats.

Little ones can enjoy face painting, bouncy castles and gunge as parents peruse stalls and take part in the luxury raffle.

Not only that, but there will be a special appearance from Christian Burrows.

Guests will recognise Christian from his tear-jerking performance of original song 'Two Again' and subsequent dramatic exit from 2016's X Factor.

Since then, the 21-year-old has released his debit single, reached over one million streams on Spotify, and supported acts on their huge UK tours.

The day's festivities will run from 1pm to 6pm and its proceeds will go towards Cancer Research UK and The Christie, one of Europe's leading cancer centres and a lifeline for many of those struggling with the terrible disease.
