TV stars to perform in star-studded Celebrity Cup

Published:

Three new faces have been added to the star-studded roster of talent competing for the Celebrity Cup at Celtic Manor next month.

TVn stars Bradley Walsh and Philip Glenister plus former England cricketer Graeme Swann will tee up in the special golf tournament at Celtic Manor Resort in South Wales from July 4-6.

Former Coronation Street actor Walsh remains a regular on the small screen as lead character DS Ronnie Brooks in Law and Order UK and as the presenter of ITV game show The Chase.

Best known as detective Gene Hunt in Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes, Glenister has just appeared in BBC1 drama From There To Here, in which he played the lead role of Daniel Cotton.

Spin bowler Swann will be relishing the prospect of pulling on an England shirt once again, having ended an international career that included three Ashes triumphs over Australia in the winter.

Swann and Walsh join an England team led by Mike Tindall, a Rugby World Cup winner with England, which also features Dragons’ Den entrepreneur Peter Jones and model Jodie Kidd.

Other stars already announced for the 2014 Celebrity Cup include TV comics Rob Brydon and Brendan O’Carroll, Irish singing superstars Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy and Brian McFadden, and rugby legends Gareth Edwards, Gavin Hastings and Kenny Logan.

Thousands of golf fans and celebrity spotters flocked to Celtic Manor to last year’s Celebrity Cup. Britain’s most popular TV presenters, Ant and Dec, also dropped in for fun-filled skills challenges and they stayed on for a star-studded gala dinner which raised £65,000 for charity.

More stars are signing up to compete in teams of six for the event, which promises a full family day out with an interactive retail village and the opportunity to get up close to watch the celebrities in action.
