Singer Sam Bailey is set to play in a celebrity charity football match for a cause close to her heart.

Her 16-year-old son Tommy was diagnosed with epilepsy in May 2024 and suffers from tonic-clonic seizures, which cause him to lose consciousness and have violent muscle contractions.

The X-Factor winner will play at a match in Leicestershire alongside a string of celebrities including former Leicester City football players, soap actors and reality TV stars to raise funds for Young Epilepsy.

She couldn't be in the same room and Young Epilepsy really helped us with that.

The 48-year-old has been regularly playing in celebrity charity football matches, organised by Sellebrity Soccer, across the country.
