The leading bingo brand used the launch of its newest game, Corrie Bouncy Balls as an opportunity to help raise money and awareness for the Male Cancer Awareness Campaign.

GalaBingo.com Director, Alison Digges tells us, "We wanted to do something special for the launch of 'Corrie Bouncy Balls'. Something involving balls! We love the innovative, educational approach MCAC takes, so we're delighted to work with them. And an official   attempt seemed like a good way to get everyone's attention. So we organised a bingo game at Coronation Street - The Tour in Manchester, invited some former cast members and raised money for charity, all at the same time! We are delighted with the result."

MCAC aims to help dispel the culture of embarrassment that discourages men from openly discussing cancers associated with intimate areas of the body.

This one-off, extra-special bingo game kicked off on the famous cobbled streets of Weatherfield on the 18 of July.  Amidst much hilarity, the world's 90 custom-made, giant bingo balls were ejected from the house windows onto the street as 's called the numbers until the house was called!

For several weeks preceding the event, players at GalaBingo.com had been able to compete for tickets to be part of this wacky event. Their efforts raised well over £10,000 for the Male Cancer Awareness Charity. And with the official title for safely in the bag, with much pomp and ceremony, a huge novelty check was presented to model and MCAC ambassador, .

Ecstatic fans of the show were able to tour the iconic former set and they even got to meet past cast legends  ( ), ( ), ( ) and ( ). A great event for an even greater cause!
