Fat fighting former Hollyoaks stars Max and OB were campaigning with pupils at Dunraven School to reduce childhood obesity.

Actors Matt Littler and Daffren Jeffries were at the school in Leigham Court Road last Thursday for the launch of the British Heart Foundation’s Food 4 Thought campaign to try and get children to eat more healthily.

They said: "We all enjoy a takeaway or treat from time to time but they shouldn’t be a part of your daily diet. It’s a scary fact that the kids of today don’t seem aware of the impact obesity could have on their long term health.”

At the centre of the campaign is an online game Yoobot which allows children to play with their future, helping them understand the long term effects of a poor diet.

The game, along with healthy eating tips for children and their parents are available at yoobot.co.uk.
