DYNAMIC duo dubbed as the the 'next Ant and Dec' have become patrons of their favourite children's hospital charity.

Younger viewers may recognise identical twins Max and Harvey Mills from Sandhurst to have appeared in last year's The X Factor: Celebrity Final.

WHO ARE LOCAL STARS MAX AND HARVEY

At just 17-years-old, the pair were named as the "next Ant and Dec" by Simon Cowell and now they are making waves by becoming patrons of Royal Manchester Children's Hospital Charity.

Max and Harvey said: “We are excited and proud to have been asked to be patrons for the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital Charity.

“We love going to visit them and have been raising money over the last few years for the Charity through selling personal video messages for our fans. The staff and kids we visit at the hospital are such an inspiration and we are honoured to become Charity Patrons.”

The twins visited the hospital on Wednesday, February 19, to film their CBBC programme FOMO, with current patients and former patients who have supported the hospital.

They then sang songs to some of the children in the ward and last Christmas, they donated £3,000 to support the charity's work in improving treatment, research and care for young patients.

Sarah Naismith, Director of Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital Charity, said: “Max and Harvey have been fantastic supporters of ours over the years and so it felt right that they should have that dedication and devotion to our fantastic Charity officially recognised.

“They are always a huge hit with the children when they come to visit and we’re so proud to have them on board as Charity Patrons.

"We look forward to seeing them at the hospital again very soon!”
