'My dad's even more excited than me!

Bobby Brazier has taken EastEnders by storm and shown off his salsa skills on Strictly-but now he's following in his dad Jeff's footsteps by trying out football. The 21-year-old is making his pitch debut for Soccer Aid on ITV1, which sees UK stars lace up their boots for a game of footie to support charity UNICEF.

Joining the England side with the likes of Sam Thompson, Paddy McGuinness and Jill Scott, Bobby admits that he "couldn't say no" when Soccer Aid asked him to play. "It's an amazing opportunity for an amazing charity," he says. "It is unlike anything I've ever done before. The scale of the event and the stadium is unbelievable."
