X Factor winner and global hit-maker James Arthur will be taking part in Midlands Air Ambulance Charity’s celebrity football match on Saturday 11th May at Walsall FC.
The ‘Impossible’ singer, along with boyband Blue’s Lee Ryan, is the most recently confirmed celebrity taking part in the star-studded match to raise funds for the lifesaving charity, which last year undertook over 300 missions in the West Midlands area.
He joins a number of stars already confirmed to take part in the game, which is sponsored by Tile Choice, including fellow X Factor winner Shane Ward, Eastenders’ Jake Wood and TOWIE’s James Argent.
Jo Bailey, events and area fundraising manager, said: “To have James Arthur on board for our very first charity football match event is fantastic. He’s such a big name in the showbiz world, our long list of great celebrity players just keeps on growing.
“Tickets are selling fast for this event and the VIP tickets have all sold out now. Prices are just £12 per adult and £6 per child, there’s no excuse to come down for what promises to be a great day out!”
The evening before the match, fans also have the opportunity to enjoy a three course dinner with some of the stars, in an informal and friendly setting at the stadium.
