*UPDATE* Unfortunately, Paul has had to postpone his visit this week. He hopes to rearrange for next month. 

 

An actor from an award-winning BBC sitcom will visit Helston next week to show his support for Your Voice Cornwall.

If you’re a fan of the British sitcom This Country, you may be familiar with the character Martin ‘dirty peeper’ Mucklowe played by Paul Cooper.

Paul will visit Your Voice, Cornwall Re-Loved Boutique in Coinagehall Street on Thursday, July 6 where he will be volunteering to show his support of the organisation.

In the sitcom, Paul plays the villainous role of the dad of the main character Kerry Mucklowe (played by Daisy May Cooper), who treats her horribly but Kerry believes he still loves her.

Natasha Long, founder of Your Voice, which supports women's mental health, told the Packet: "Paul and I have been friends on Instagram for a while now and he's been a supporter of Your Voice for over a year.

"Previously he's donated signed books to us for our raffle, and he's always said anything he can do to help, he would.

"He's a huge supporter of mental health and does a lot of work for organisations that support people who have a hoarding disorder.

"I'm really excited as I'm a long-time fan of the show, as are my kids. And the fact that he supports mental health disorders is a huge bonus.

"He's also the real-life father of Daisy and Charlie Cooper who play the main roles in This Country."
