Gogglebox star Tom Malone Snr has been praised by fans after a trip to the hospital. His wife Julie, who he appears alongside on the Channel 4 series with the rest of his family, updated their followers on Instagram this week.
The couple took a trip to the Plymouth Grove Donor Centre in Manchester where Tom donated platelets and plasma, she told fans in a post. Alongside a photo of Tom sat in a donor chair with three members of staff behind him, Julie wrote: "Tom giving platelets and plasma today! @givebloodnhs PGDC."
Their trip came as the NHS faces increasing demand for platelets to help people undergoing cancer treatment, reports the Liverpool Echo. Fans were quick to praise Tom for his gesture, with many saying they had needed to use blood and platelet banks.
