A star-studded line-up of famous faces are heading to Cambridgeshire later this year for a charity football match in aid of disabled children and their families across the country.

The dazzling line-up includes The Only Way Is Essex stars Dan Osborne and James Argent, Britain’s Got Talent semi-finalist and football freestyler, Jeremy Lynch, and television personality Calum Best.
Also playing the field will be Love Island contestants Jake Cornish, Luke Trotman, Nas Majeed and Dom Lever, as well as The Real Housewives of Cheshire cast member Joe Sealey and television chef Dean Edwards.
Former EastEnders stars Jake Wood, best known for playing Max Branning, Dean Gaffney, who played Robbie Jackson, Matt Lapinskas, best known for playing Antony Moon, and Danny Hatchard, who portrayed Lee Carter, are also taking part in the match.
