But with everything happening in the world right now, I'm going to stop acting for a bit next year and just focus on the Shameless Fund. Over the next few months, I'll be focusing on staffing and making sure we get all the right people in all the right places.”He added, "There's this statistic: out of every £100 raised in the UK, only 1p goes to the LGBTQ+ community.
