Mike Joyce is being locked up with a group of fans in aid of the British Red Cross.

The former The Smiths drummer is part of the British Red Cross Jail and Bail event on 1 December.

Mike said: "The event sounds like a bit of fun and it's all for a good cause so I'm very happy to help. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to be put on trial for yet but I'm sure my mates will have a few suggestions. I hope that we'll get a good turn out and raise lots of money for the British Red Cross."
