Soccer Aid is back and two teams full of famous faces and celebrities will once again take to the pitch to raise money for charity.
Among those taking part this year is Kem Cetinay who returns for a fourth time. Kem, 26, will be representing the World XI FC alongside the likes of Usain Bolt, Patrice Evra, Cafe and Mark Strong.
Although born in Essex, Kem is back representing the World XI due to his Turkish Cypriot roots. Viewers will likely recognise Kem from the 2017 series of Love Island where the former hairdresser won the series alongside Amber Davies.
Sadly it wasn't the love story fans were hoping for and the couple broke up in 2017 of that year.
