On 31st October I  will be taking the ultimate Halloween Challenge and entering the ‘Dead Room’ in the underbelly of Manchester’s historic Corn Exchange to raise money for Forever Manchester.

If you call yourself my friend, please donate now to help me escape the horrors and escape to the Halloween Ball. 

I’ll enter the Dead Room at 6pm where he'll be  completely cut off from the outside world. No phones, no Twitter. I’ll have to work in the pitch black with Ghostbuster Stuart Marshall to investigate the paranormal activity deep underground to find out exactly what or who has been causing the unexplainably cold temperature and eerie goings-on in one particular room in the basement of the Corn Exchange building.

Maintenance workers at the building have been spooked by doors opening and closing on their own and items being moved from locked rooms into other areas of the basement without any apparent human intervention. It will be dark, cold and quiet. My fate will be in the hands of everyone who is safe on the outside.

At 7pm the contender who has raised the most money will be released and escorted directly to the Radisson to check-in to their luxury room for the night and prepare themselves for the Ball. The others will remain in the dark, cold depths of the Dead Room. I need to make sure I am first out and into that room!!

Further contenders will be released at 8pm, 8.35pm and 9.30pm with the final guest remaining alone in the dark for the final half hour.
