British actor Warwick Davis and former singer Cilla Black are among the stars backing a campaign to raise money for the British Heart Foundation (Bhf).

Harry Potter actor Davis and veteran entertainer Black are calling on fans to donate their unwanted items including clothes, shoes, and Dvds to a local Bhf store to help fund research into congenital heart disease.

Black says, "It was really therapeutic clearing out my wardrobe and finding items to donate to Bag it. Beat it. Why not get involved and donate your unwanted items to your local Bhf shop, each bag donated will fund life-saving heart research, helping children fight congenital heart disease."

Other British stars backing the 'Bag It. Beat It.' campaign include comedian Jack Dee, Tv presenter Carol Smillie, and professional dancer Anton Du Beke.
