He really enjoyed the show and said it would be great if he could have a pint with him so I emailed Russell’s agency and he replied to say he would be delighted.
We arranged for him to come and visit Lee on his birthday as a surprise and when he turned up at the pub Lee couldn’t believe it.
I was over the moon because he was so poorly at the time and it gave him the boost he needed.
It was his last birthday and Russell made it extra special for him."

Linda, 51, said: "Russell was absolutely brilliant with Lee and they got on like a house on fire.
"They had the same sense of humour and Russell said what a cracking lad he was.
