Bobby Brazier, known for his role in EastEnders and his appearance on Strictly Come Dancing, has recently been added to the star-studded lineup for this year's Soccer Aid for UNICEF. Along with 24 other major stars, Bobby is ready to take on the challenge and support a great cause.
The young actor, who is best known for his role as Freddie Slater, is excited to trade in the streets of Albert Square for the pitch at Stamford Bridge. He joins a range of famous faces, including World Cup hero Jill Scott, singer Robbie Williams, and athlete Usain Bolt. Other well-known personalities such as Lee Mack and Paddy McGuinness will also be joining Bobby on the field.
"I am absolutely thrilled to have the opportunity to participate in this year's Soccer Aid for UNICEF," Bobby shared. "Not only is it for a great cause, but you can also show your support by purchasing tickets, which are available now."
As the co-founder of Soccer Aid, Robbie Williams will be participating in the event once again this year. "I'm hoping all my dance training will come in handy when I go head-to-head with Usain Bolt and the rest of the team," Robbie joked. "Maybe I'll even show off some silky skills – we'll see!"
Soccer Aid is an annual event that brings together two star-studded teams – England and Soccer Aid World XI FC – to compete against each other. More famous faces will be announced in the coming weeks, but for now, the World XI team includes manager Mauricio Pochettino, coach Jesus Perez, and team captain Usain Bolt.
On the other hand, the England team, which has won the event five times since its beginning in 2006, boasts professional footballer and manager Frank Lampard and Harry Redknapp as captains, and World Cup hero Jill Scott and singer Robbie Williams as managers. Comedian and TV presenter Paddy McGuinness and professional goalie David James will be playing the role of goalkeeper, with guidance from coach David Seaman. The team also includes professionals such as Jermain Defoe, Jack Wilshere, Karen Carney, and Gary Cahill, as well as celebrities like singer Tom Grennan, businessman Steven Bartlett, and actress Erin Doherty.
Former footballer Alex Scott and TV presenter Dermot O'Leary will be hosting the event. "I've been fortunate enough to see firsthand the impact of Soccer Aid for UNICEF and how it helps children around the world have a better childhood, even in the toughest of situations," Alex shared. "I am thrilled to be a part of this year's event, back in London with such an incredible lineup. The money raised will truly make a difference in the lives of children everywhere, and I hope to see as many people as possible come out and support it."
Dermot added, "At Soccer Aid for UNICEF, we are all united by the goal to protect play for children everywhere, and I am honored to be a part of this team once again. For millions of children around the world, conflicts and disasters have taken away their safe spaces to play, and hunger and disease have deprived them of a healthy and happy childhood. By purchasing a ticket to this star-studded match, you are giving these children a chance to grow up with joy and wellness. No matter which team you support, it's going to be an amazing night at Stamford Bridge."
The match will be commentated by Sam Matterface and Iain Stirling. The halftime entertainment is yet to be announced. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?
