Guests included the former EastEnders actress Michelle Collins, the Sunderland FC chairman, Niall Quinn, and ex England footballers Viv Anderson and Peter Reid. After the auction, the Bees Gees legend Robin Gibb turned from guest to entertainer, filling the dancefloor with hits from the legendary group.
At a dinner and celebrity auction overlooking Wembley in 2008, Andy raised more than £600,000 as guests paid £1,000 a head for a seat for a
government fundraiser. Andy and ex Labour spin king Alistair Campbell wielded the gavel in a double act. The two men traded jokes on stage with the pop guru Pete Waterman and Nancy Dell'Olio, as they urged guests to bid.
A specially commissioned drawing by the sculptor Antony Gormley topped the bidding at £55,000. The chance of playing tennis with Tony Blair went
under the hammer for £20,000 to a mystery bidder, before Frank Warren phoned in with another £20,000 offer and the former prime minister agreed
to a second match with the boxing promoter.
Andys performance was later described as ebullient in The Independent newspaper.
