Daniel Sturridge joins in cooking class with schoolchildren

Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge and Paralympic swimmer Ellie Simmonds recently teamed up and joined in with a schoolchildren's cooking class.

The duo, who visited St Paul's Catholic Junior School in Liverpool last week, are part of Sainsbury's Active Kids 2015 campaign.

Sturridge took part in the cooking class just days before he made his return to the pitch for the first time in five months.

The 25-year-old scored within 10 minutes of coming on from the substitutes bench to seal a 2-0 victory over West Ham United on Saturday.

Prior to matters on the pitch, Sturridge got into the spirit of the cooking occasion by wearing a chef's hat and apron.

Cooked up a storm today to launch @Sainsburys #ActiveKids 2015 with @EllieSimmonds1. Get collecting in the stores now and donate to local schools...
