A RAFFLE to win a giant teddy bear wearing an England shirt will be drawn by former Coronation Street star Shobna Gulati in Darwen.

The event will raise money for the Five Star Appeal for a children's scanner in Manchester and will be launched at Darwen Music Live this weekend.

The winning ticket will be drawn by Shobna, who played Sunita in the TV soap, at a ceremony on June 10 at noon, just before England kick off their opening World Cup match.

Shobna visited Darwen last year to switch on the town's Christmas lights.
