Soccer AM presenter Tubes, TV personality Calum Best and TOWIE stars Dan Osborne and James Argent will be amongst the celebrities to compete at Crewe Alexandra FC’s Mornflake Stadium on Sunday, May 1. 

 

Love Island contestants Jake Cornish and Luke Trotman will also be showing off their football skills, alongside EastEnders stars Jake Wood, who played Max Branning, Dean Gaffney, who portrayed the role of Robbie Jackson, Matt Lapinskas, who starred as Anthony Moon and Danny Hatchard, who played Lee Carter. 

 

Also taking to the pitch is former Crewe Alexandra player Steve Walters and The Real Housewives of Cheshire cast member Joe Sealey, whose dad, Les Sealey, played in goal for Manchester United.

He added: “The funds raised from this match will help some of the most vulnerable children in Liverpool. 

 

“We hope lots of people will attend the match and get behind the teams – the money raised will change the lives of ill children living in Liverpool.”
