Pop star Alexandra Burke threw her weight behind efforts to get more people signed up to the organ donor register ahead of the British Transplant Games in Medway next year.

She broke a Guinness World Record when she was joined on stage by campaigners Hope Milne and Abby Thackray, from Channel 4 show Battlefront,

The trio managed to add a staggering 321 names to the organ donor list in an hour.

The cause is close to Miss Burke’s heart because her mother is currently waiting for a kidney transplant.

The drive to increase the number of donors will take centre stage in Medway next year.

The Towns are hosting the Westfield Health British Transplant Games from August 23 to 26.

As well as encouraging people to sign up, the Games showcase and celebrate those who have benefited from donations
