Theses are the advertised celebrities (not footballers) who will be playing in a charity match for UNICEF at Chelsea:
For England - David Harewood (GK), Mo Farah, Joe Wicks, Mark Wright, Jeremy Lynch, Ben Shephard, Marvin Humes and Danny Jones
For the Rest of the World - Usain Bolt, Niall Horan, Martin Compston, Danny O’Carroll, Billy Wingrove & Kem Cetinay.
I've heard of 3 - Mo Farah, Ben Shepherd & Usain Bolt.
Am I dreadfully out of touch with popular culture?

Nowadays, the definition of "celebrity" has been stretched so thinly, it's almost lost its original meaning.

I can't be as much out of touch.............I know of the 3 that Tony knows, plus Mark Wright ( ex Towie......now a Heart FM presenter...married to Michelle Keegan ) and Marvin Humes ( his wife is Rochelle Humes.......a former Saturday's singer...she also now works on Heart FM as a presenter )

I've heard a few of those names but have no idea what they do. There are so many different ways to be famous these days, I agree with Trev that the definition of celebrity has become a bit stretched!

Yes Dave, this is the match ( Soccer Aid )that "usually" takes place at Old Trafford, and where Robbie Williams also makes an appearance as well, not sure why it's being moved to Stamford Bridge this year though.
