EASTENDERS' bad boy Dan Sullivan has given his support to an Eltham school's bid for sports college status.

Actor Craig Fairbrass joined pupils from Eltham Green Secondary School during their fundraising efforts in Passey Place, last Friday.

He lent a hand during a break in filming at the Dome for an ITV drama based on the foiled diamond raid last year.

Collections on the High Street and at Eltham Station raised nearly £1,500, which will go towards the £5,000 pupils need to raise to become a sports college.
