Following this exciting announcement, Gerald launched a racehorse syndicate to raise awareness for prostate cancer.

The TV star revealed: "Now cancer-free, I wanted to do something joyful for a good cause.

"I have a long-standing connection with Charlie and Sophie Longsdon, so setting up a syndicate with Old Gold Racing felt like the right way forward. And I’m so excited about what’s to come with The Mullet."
