I think it's great that world famous celebraties and sportsman are coming together to help charity.

Who do you think will win?

At the writing of this article, 65% of people on ITV's website thought England will win. I'm not so sure though, as the Rest of the World's Ex-footballers are better than the England veterans. However Scottish chef, and Rest of the World Captain, Gordon Ramsay is unlikely to be fit. The Rest of the World have also had other injury problems too.

I think the Rest of the World will still win however, as England have an ageing team. It will certainly be entertaining though, and is sure to raise a lot of money for UNICEF, which can only be a good thing.
