Dane Bowers, Jake Wood and Shayne Ward among stars kick off for charity game at Greenhous Meadow
Soap actors and musicians will be taking centre stage in a star studded celebrity football match.
Shrewsbury Town's Greenhous Meadow will be hosting the game, which will see Eastenders' Jake Wood line up with soap rival Coronation Street's Shayne Ward.
It's not the first time the Eastenders actor will have graced the Greenhous Meadow turf, having taken part in last year's celebrity charity match, which also featured a host of stars.
This year's contest will be raising money for the Shrewsbury Town in the Community charity, which provides education activities and events for disadvantaged and disabled youngsters.
Jamie Edwards, manager of the charity, said the day promised to provide plenty of family entertainment.
He said: "Following on from last year I think it was great for two reasons, first the celebrities that came were fantastic, really welcoming to the people who came to watch, and also it is the kind of event which does not attract your average football fan.
"That gives us the chance to showcase the facilities we have to people who would not normally come to a League One fixture.
"Also, the most important thing is it gives us a really fun way to raise money for the charity.
"We are really excited, we have got a great line-up and it should be a fantastic family day."
The match takes place on Monday, May 2, with a 3pm kick off. Doors will open at 1.30pm.
Fans will get a chance to get photos and autographs from the players after the game.
So far the confirmed line-up includes Celebrity Big Brother winner James Hill, TOWIE's Dan Osborne, Dane Bowers, James Graham from X Factor's Stereo Kicks, Dean Gaffney from Eastenders, Dawn Ward as a manager, Ashley Ward, Terry Alderton from Eastenders, X Factor's Che Chesterman, and former Eastender and Dancing on Ice star Matt Laspinskas.
The game will also feature X Factor's Luke Friend, Tubes and Frankie Fryer from Soccer AM, along with the Love Island trio Max Morley, Josh Richie, and Luis Morrison.
The club has confirmed that more celebrities will be announced for the clash in the coming weeks.
