“We’re like, why isn’t he on the front of every billboard?” Sian Welby said during the show. Chris Stark added: “You go about your business in a quiet, dignified way… if we want you to be a bigger face of Soccer Aid, you’ve got to get seen.” North laughed off the attention, describing the photoshoot as “the funniest thing ever,” while Stark admitted he didn’t stick around for the full session.

Jordan North’s participation continues a long-running tradition of celebrities and sports stars coming together to raise funds for UNICEF, supporting children worldwide through football. Fans can look forward to seeing North on the pitch in what promises to be an entertaining and star-studded charity event.
