HOLLYOAKS actor Duncan James is taking a stroll in the South Downs as part of a campaign to find the UK’s favourite dog walk.

The former member of the boy band Blue will be joined by nine year old Shih Tzu Tallula for the walk.

Gala Bingo has enlisted 15 specially selected bloggers to road test a pooch-perfect stroll, including Laurence Creamer, a copywriting professional from Chichester.

His walk takes place at Kingley Vale, just north of Chichester, which is the one James will be trying.

Each walk has been photographed and crafted into an interactive step-by-step map for dog lovers everywhere and people are invited to vote for their favourite.

For every public vote cast, Gala Bingo will make a 50p donation up to the end amount of £3,000 for the Mayhew Animal Home in London.

Karina Adrian from Gala Bingo said: “We’re so excited to launch this campaign to find the UK’s favourite dog walk.

“We’re a nation of pet lovers and it’s a very British thing to throw on wellies, coat and a hat and go and explore national parks and the countryside, even in the summer, given the weather.”
