FORMER Coronation Street star Michelle Keegan has donated her old sofa to a fundraising campaign by the furniture giant DFS and the British Heart Foundation (BHF).

The campaign aims to raise £3m for the BHF and Michelle donated her sofa, to launch the initiative, to the charity's store in Sale.

The initiative works by encouraging customers who buy their sofa from DFS to have their unwanted sofa collected for free by BHF stores. This will then be sold in one of the BHF's 170 furniture and electrical stores across the UK with every penny of profit raised from sales helping to fund vital research into heart disease.
