A STAR of TV show The Bill was the guest at a hospice for a lottery jackpot draw.

The Lions Hospice, Coldharbour Road, Gravesend, gives away £3,000 a week in its fundraising lottery.

A £5,000 jackpot was offered to current players to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the weekly draw, which raised £175,000 last year.

Actor Chris Simmons, who plays Det Con Mickey Webb in The Bill, visited the hospice to draw the lottery, which costs £1 to enter.
