Actor Ralf Little's lent his support to a group of swimmers preparing to brave the waters of the Bristol Channel - in aid of Weston's lifeboat station.

The 32 year old, who's currently filming his sitcom The Cafe in the town, posed for photos with the team - after by chance asking the Annual Big Swim's organiser if he could borrow his phone charger.

Participants will swim the two and a half miles from Brean Down to Anchor Head on August the 12th to raise money for the local RNLI.
