Heart patient Peter's got the X Factor

Congratulations are in order for Peter Lee, who was featured in the ITV show The X Factor at the weekend wearing a lovely bright red British Heart Foundation Heart Runners t-shirt.

Heart patient and BHF fan Peter, 81, was filmed during auditions for the show singing a version of Gene Kelly's Singing In The Rain while playing the spoons. Despite obviously impressing show judge Simon Cowell, he narrowly missed making it thorugh to the final rounds.

Next stop for Peter is helping to promote our new Cardiac Rehab Campaign, launching on 15 September, telling his story as someone who has seen the benefits of receiving rehabilitation after surgery for a heart condition.

If you missed Peter's performance on the X Factor don't fear, you can check it out now below...

And just in case you missed this...

There were some great TV news pieces about our 2008 London to Brighton Bike Ride last weekend.

One of them was on BBC Breakfast News early on Sunday morning, but if you were taking part in - or making your way to - the Ride itself you will almost certainly have missed it.

Anyway, those very kind folk at the BBC and ITV have just given us permission to host the clips on our BHF YouTube video channel, so if you haven't seen them yet, here they are. First up, BBC Breakfast News...



And here's the ITV London Tonight news report...
