'X Factor' star Jake Quickenden to play in Swansea City charity match

Swansea City have confirmed that The X Factor contestant Jake Quickenden will play in this year's celebrity charity football match at the Liberty Stadium.

The 26-year-old, who also finished runner-up in last year's series of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here, will help raise money for SwansAid by playing in the Sellebrity match.

Quickenden, who has played semi-professional football for Frickley Athletic and Bottesford Town, will be joined by former Olympic sprinter Jamie Baulch.

In last year's event, EastEnders actor Adam Woodyatt guided his team to narrow glory over their opponents, who were led by Danny Dyer.

The match is scheduled for May 31.
