Tony Banks: The Secret Millionaire
Care homes millionaire and ex-Para, Tony Banks is returning to Liverpool for the filming of the next Secret Millionaire for Channel 4, which will be shown in on UK TV in March.
In the last series, the Secret Millionaire producers were forced to pull him out of the rundown Anfield estate when violence flared and he was targeted by yobs.
The care home entrepreneur was the first Secret Millionaire they’ve been forced to move for safety reasons.Tony had a terrifying ordeal as youths set fire to cars and houses and threw bricks at the building he was staying in.
Tony described the area as being ’like Beirut’. After spending a week undercover, the Falklands veteran donated £126,000 to the area on his visit, to numerous deserving charities and individuals in one of Liverpool’s poorest areas.
“A lot of good people live amongst the chaos,“ said Banks.
He hopes to see the positive effect that the money has had when he returns.

Cars set on fire? Homes set ablaze? Bricks thrown at buildings? That doesn’t sound like Beirut. It sounds like Liverpool!
