All-Star Netball for Sport Relief

Two teams of celebrity players and sporting legends came together last summer to battle it out in the first ever All-Star Netball for Sport Relief.

She faced tough competition from a team led by Strictly Come Dancing’s Oti Mabuse, who grew up playing netball in South Africa.

These are only some of the highlights as famous faces come together for sketches and live moments which see them being pushed out of their comfort zones to help raise money to tackle issues such as mental health stigma, domestic abuse, homelessness and child poverty, both in the UK and around the world.
