Bez has written to Britain’s Prince Charles asking him to back his anti-fracking campaign.
The Happy Mondays star, who has reinvented himself as a politician and plans to stand as an MP for Salford and Eccles in Greater Manchester next year, has penned a letter to the eco-friendly Prince of Wales asking him to help raise awareness of the negative effects caused by the controversial gas extraction technique.
The former ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ winner wrote: "As a respected proponent of permaculture we are appealing to you to help us raise awareness of the risks to our environment due to fracking and would welcome a public statement supporting the necessity of protecting and maintaining our environment.
"We hope that reason does not impair your judgement and that you will come to the aid of your people."
The maracas-shaking dancer, otherwise known as Mark Berry, is eagerly awaiting a reply from the royal heir, who he believes is a great role model.
Bez told the Manchester Evening News: "I have never met him before but I know that he does a lot of work for charities and I am hoping that he will lend his voice to anti-fracking.
"I recently saw him promoting wild flower meadows and I thought ‘he is living the life that is an example to the rest of the country.’
"That is my dream – to create an England the way he has lived his life. We need his strong influential voice and I look forward to hearing back from him."
The 50-year-old star is hopeful Charles will support his catchy anti-fracking slogan, "shake your maracas if you’re against the frackers".
