Actors and reality stars are warming up to take part in a charity football match, which will raise funds for a Suffolk schoolgirl’s charity.
Former Eastenders actors Dean Gaffney and Matthew Lapinskas will join Dan Osborne (Only Way is Essex) and Calum Best, playing in the match at Cornard United Football club, near Sudbury.
The charity has been named in honour of schoolgirl Teigan Rose Bayliss, 13, of Great Whelnetham, near Bury St Edmunds.
Teigan, who attends Hillside Special School, in Sudbury, was diagnosed with quadriplegic cerebral palsy after contracting meningitis when she was a baby.
Her parents Tony and Beckie Bayliss, who set up the charity, are on the hunt for volunteers able to help at the event.
They are promising spectators an ‘exhilarating day’, with more celebrities set to be announced.
Anyone who is able to volunteer at the match, or who can donate a raffle prize, should get in touch with Tony and Beckie via the TeiganSmile Facebook page.
The main sponsor for the event is Rachel, of Harmonize Care.
Celebrities taking part in the match are subject to any work commitments that may crop up.
