EASTENDERS, Love Island, Strictly Come Dancing and TikTok stars are participating in  charity football match next month.

Jake Wood, Dan Osborne and Cal The Dragon are among the names taking part in the latest Sellebrity Soccer match in March.

The charity game, which is being held to raise funds for the Menstrual Health Project, is kicking off at the Easy As HGV Stadium (Calthorpe Park), home to Fleet Town FC, on Sunday, March 9 at 3pm.

Chelsey Crawford, 19, helped organise the event. She said: "I reached out to Sellebrity Soccer in March 2024 after attending their game at Sandhurst in January 2024 which was for A New Hope For Ethan and it was an incredible game.

"I wanted to reach out and ask if I could do one but for women's health and they said yes. 

"I've been organising the decorations and raffle prizes with the help of Kelly from Elite Sports Marketing who have been a huge help and are also the main shirt sponsor of the game. So without them, or Sellebrity Soccer, it wouldn't be possible.

"The Menstrual Health Project is a UK charity who provides educational tools, offers workplace and school sessions, and raises awareness for menstrual health conditions and related concerns."

Further celebrity participants include Calum Best, tv personality and son of former Manchester United star George Best, Ricky Groves who played Gary Hobbs on EastEnders and Love Island star Ronnie Vint.

The football match will see the star-studded sides take to the pitch to raise money for the Menstrual Health Project to ensure that menstrual health products and education reach those in need.

Chelsey continued: "It's a worthwhile cause because it's women's health and conditions that aren't very well known.

"Our aim for the game is to tell as many people about these conditions and hope that they leave knowing at least one or two things about these conditions.

"This event is personal to me because I have undiagnosed endometriosis and being able to share my experience with others and sharing my story and other people sharing theirs will really be an incredible moment.

Further participants include EastEnders star Bleu Landau and singer Max Mills.

Chelsey added: "I'm excited to see all of the celebrities so I don't know which one I'm most excited to see. Max Mills from Max and Harvey is playing, he is a super chill and very kind person so probably him.

"It's going to be an incredible day and event and it's something people won't want to miss."

The full list of confirmed celebrities so far is: Dan Osborne, Calum Best, Jake Wood, Cal the Dragon, Man Like Haks, Max Mills, Nathan Campbell, Sam Baikey, Orson Nurse, Ryan Livesey, Ronnie Vint, Ricky Groves, Arthur Poremba, Adam Nightingale, Georges Berthonneau, Bleu Landau, Sean Stone, Matt Lapinskas, Flintz, Munveer, Reuben Collins, Joe Jackson, Singing Dentist, and Keiran Hayler.
