Julie Malone has shared her pride in husband Tom after the Gogglebox star embarked on a daring challenge for charity.
The Malones have been part of the furniture on the hit Channel 4 show for years mow, with Tom, Julie, their children and, of course, their dogs, real firm favourites with fans. And, while they're not on screen at the moment as the Gogglebox cast take a break before the next series, the family have remained active on Instagram.,
They've not long returned from a holiday abroad and Tom most definitely needed a head for heights as he undertook a rather scary feat for a cause very important to the family at the weekend.
Last week Tom and Julie posted a video on their Insta grid in which they revealed that Tom had signed up to do an abseil down a tower of the Trafford Centre shopping complex on the outskirts of Manchester to raise as much money as possible for the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation. Julie appealed for the couple's many social media followers to donate on Tom's JustGiving page and was there to see her other half complete the mission, filming him in action.
