Jewellery expert Helen Dimmick is hoping her new TV fame will add extra sparkle to her support for East Cheshire Hospice.
Helen, from Macclesfield, joined fellow specialists on the ITV daytime show Bling, hosted by Gok Wan.
Helen, a qualified gemmologist and diamond grader, was part of a specially made one-stop shop helping the public buy and sell jewellery, or have it remodelled, or fixed.

She also has her own business and runs Annie’s Legacy, a fundraising initiative she set up in the name of her late grandmother.
Helen donates 15 per cent of the profit from work undertaken in memory of a loved one to the Hospice, which cared for Annie who inspired her love of jewellery.
Helen said: “The TV show was fantastic and I really enjoyed doing it and the feedback has been extremely positive.
“I didn’t set out to be on television but what’s lovely is it raises the profile of my industry and what we’re doing. As we know with jewellery it tells a story about its meaning and sentiment.”
Her offer to help through Annie’s Legacy is still open. The service allows jewellery left behind by loved ones to be treasured forever.
Helen can resize rings, remodel jewellery, recycle gold for cash or even create bespoke items.
Her contribution to the Hospice also applies to purchases made in memory of a loved one, as well as for any work commissioned.
