Eastenders' favourite June Brown is to perform on stage with Brighton Gay Men's Chorus for a Christmas concert.

The actress, best known for playing Dot Branning, will join the charity for its Pull A Cracker Christmas show at the Brighton Dome on December 11.

Ms Brown said: “I'm really looking forward to joining the Brighton Gay Men's Chorus for their Christmas show.

“I can't think of a better way to kick-start the festive season while raising money for such worthy charities as the Chorus and the Sussex Beacon.”

The chorus hopes that by sharing music with the public it can brighten people's lives, challenge prejudices and raise awareness of community issues.

Comedian Zoe Lyons will be compering the show and other special guests are cabaret artiste Lorraine Bowen and vocalist Jodie Spencer.
