British actress and comedian Julia Davis has voiced Macmillan Cancer Support’s new Coffee Morning TV ad, capturing the sentiment that ‘Nothing stops a Macmillan Coffee Morning’, despite the coronavirus pandemic.

The campaign, created during lockdown, begins with ‘comical graphics of hell freezing over’ and ends with footage of someone receiving cancer treatment, and the Gavin and Stacey star commented ‘It was something very close to my heart to voice this advert, for a charity that supported both my parents. It’s clear that now is a more anxious time than ever for people with cancer, and Macmillan’s Coffee Morning is a chance for the public to raise a mug and vital funds so that people continue to receive the support they deserve’.

Macmillan Cancer Support’s 2020 Coffee Morning takes place on Friday September 25, and hosts will be able to hold an online event to raise funds for the charity for the first time ever.
