Emmerdale hunk Alexander Lincoln is set to take part in a charity sleep out in the heart of Birmingham to help raise funds young people struggling with homelessness in Birmingham.
On Tuesday (November 28), the actor, who played the role of Jamie Tate on the ITV soap, took to his Instagram Stories to ask for fans to donate for his new challenge online. The soap star will be spending the night under the stars with several other participants to help keep young people warm and fed this Christmas.
To encourage his loyal legion of fans to donate, the TV legend promised fans that he would share “increasingly strange nudes” if he passed his initial goal of raising £200 for the cause. And it’s fair to say the star delivered, much to his viewer’s surprise.

In his first post, the brunette star could be seen unbuttoning his shirt and flashing a bit of chest hair as he walked to the train station which he captioned: “Wildly thankful”. After smashing his £200 goal by an addition £500, the star shared a throwback snap from his recent holiday to Slovenia.
The actor could be seen wearing nothing but a pair of black swimming trunks as he flashed his toned abs to the camera. His steamy snap gave viewers a glimpse at his new chest tattoo as he posed up a storm in a beautiful lake.
He captioned the post: “As promised, a nudeish. Thank you for your support – honestly it means the world and even more to the young people of Birmingham.” Later on in the evening, the Dales star – who appeared on the show from 2019 to 2021 – managed to smash the £1k mark just hours after launching the event.
At the time of writing this article, the beefcake has raised more than £1,17 for the young person’s charity. But this won’t be the first time the star has slept under the stars, after he was forced to camp outside an airport after a major mishap.
Taking to his Instagram Story back in September, Alex – who often shares snippets of his treks around the world – updated his fans that his flight to Pisa was delayed. Approximately an hour later, he shared a snap of himself giving the thumbs up to the camera looks a little less than fresh.
Putting on a brave face, he captioned the post: “Getting into Pisa at 1.30am with no hotel booking.” Later on in the night, Alex shared another snap – this time of his bedding outside the airport.
Writing “my room for the night – outside the airport”, Lincoln shared his room for the night as his sleeping bag stretched out on the lawn outside their airport terminal. Alex endured a sleepless night in the beloved city before he caught the next flight early the next day.
