Former Spurs boss Harry Redknapp has pledged his support to a Cornish donkey sanctuary after being named as the new patron.

In a video message recorded for The Flicka Foundation, which is based near Penryn, the former winner of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here pays tribute to the work the charity does with abused and abandoned donkeys.

He also sends a message to one of their donkeys called Harry.

The Flicka Foundation rescues donkeys from abuse, neglect and abandonment and allows them to live out their lives in a safe, peaceful environment.

When the foundation announced Harry as patron they said they were "over the moon, thrilled and so delighted".
