X Factor winners to skipper teams in Shropshire charity match
James Arthur and Shayne Ward were both winners of X Factor – but one will end up losing this weekend as they captain opposing sides in a charity football match.
The singers are being joined by a host of celebrities in gracing Shrewsbury Town's Greenhous Meadow for the charity match which kicks off at 3pm tomorrow.
The match will be raising money for PDSA and has been organised by former Coronation Street star Adam Rickitt, who has also revealed a late addition to the star-studded roster.
Jacqueline Jossa, who plays Lauren Branning in Eastenders, has been named as an assistant manager for the game – putting her in charge of her real life fiancé, Daniel Osbourne, from The Only Way is Essex.
Mr Rickitt said: "Jacqueline is very competitive so she is going to want to make sure they win and I am sure Dan will be getting told what to do."
Mr Rickitt also promised that the two skippers will be doing all they can to make sure they don't end up on the losing side. He said: "They are both great singers and now Shayne is acting, too, but they both wouldn't have minded being footballers. They are both X Factor winners and they are both really competitive so they will want to win."
Tickets for the match cost £10 for adults and £2 for under-16s.
