I'd happily donate double the money if ITV guaranteed they wouldn't show it every year.

I suppose it's a Good Cause etc, but it's cringeworthy TV.

Who is he?? They seem to wheel him out every two years for Soccer Aid. What else does he do to be a 'celebrity'??

He's Robbie Williams' mate. That's it.

He's mates with Robbie Williams and had a TV presenting and singing career that no-one seems to remember. He did score a cracking goal many years ago in a pre-cursor event to Socceraid that saw a team of celebs take on a team of ex pros. He seems to have been dining off of that goal ever since. Shame Davids didn't get a better forearm smash in there.

Seriously?? Being friends with a celebrity makes you a celebrity in the eyes of 'Soccer Aid'??

He organised it with Williams so gets a place in the team.

There were some excellent Jonathan Wilkes related Twitter comments going round last night. Maybe not excellent if you're Jonathan Wilkes, his wife, or his mother, but for the rest of us, it was extremely amusing.
