REALITY TV star Dan Osborne and X Factor’s Stevi Ritchie went up against each other in a charity football match.

About 500 people attended the fourth annual charity match, which was held at the Weston Homes Community Stadium, in aid of the Multiple Sclerosis Society and mental health charity Mind.

Yesterday’s game saw teams Real Ale Madrid go up against Beercalona.

TheOnlyWay is Essex Star Osborne was cheered on by girlfriend Jacqueline Jossa, who plays Lauren Branning in Eastenders, and the couple’s baby daughter, Ella.

The celebrities were joined by other local players.

Former Stanway schoolboy Stevi, who came sixth in last year’s X Factor, said: “I can’t play to savemy life. I can just about kick it.

“I did my best. Dan Osborne is a lot better than me. It was nice to be asked. It is for a good cause.”

At the weekend, the ground was the scene for the U’s nail-biting final game which secured their survival in League One.
