Sam Bailey and Jacqueline Jossa to manage the sides
The team names for the fifth annual Jamie’s Game this Sunday will be Jossa XI vs Bailey XI in honour of the two respective managers, actress Jacqueline Jossa and singer Sam Bailey.
Sam Bailey is a UK number one charting singer who shot to fame as the winner on the tenth series of ITV’s The X Factor in 2013.
A Jamie’s Game debutant and a keen footballer, Bailey will be lacing up her boots in a player-manager role.
Supporting the 39-year-old in the captain role will be Jake Wood. This will be the second time the Eastenders’ star has worn the armband at Carrow Road, after his team narrowly lost out in 2015.
Taking the reins for Jossa XI is actress Jacqueline Jossa, best known for her role as Lauren Branning in BBC’s Eastenders, a role she has played since 2010.
The star is engaged to teammate Dan Osborne, a reality TV star and her team’s captain, and the pair will be hoping they can lead their side to victory on Sunday.
