The Unity Bands cost £2 from Cancer Research online, and in the hundreds of Cancer Research UK shops. All proceeds from the bands go straight to supporting scientists, doctors and nurses to help progress treatment and cures in the fight against the deadly illness. Other celebrities that have been spotted wearing their Unity Bands include This Morning hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield. Phil took to his Instagram account earlier in the week to share a photo of the pair posing with their own bands on set in the ITV studios. "Play your part and pick up your @CR_UK #UnityBand for World Cancer Day on 4 Feb for just £2: https://po.st/63aE0r," the TV presenter captioned the image.
