Deayton fails to score in Chiswick
Star's rehabilitation begins in
preparation for his come-back on Red Nose Night
Angus
Deayton is back in the limelight, thankfully this time it’s in aid
of Comic Relief. In a charity football tournament held in Chiswick
this week, Deayton’s team were thrashed 5-0 by a team from BBC1’s
Football Focus in a match played at the University of Westminster
Sports Ground on Cavendish Road.
Amongst Deayton’s team were Teachers star Andrew Lincoln and former
Casualty actor Patrick Robinson, whilst the Football Focus team
boasted presenter Ray Stubbs and former Crystal Palace player Mark
Bright.
Deayton’s association with Comic Relief is step towards rebuilding
his reputation after his very public sacking as host of Have I Got
News for You after tabloid revelations of sex and drugs last October.
His participation in Red Nose Night on March 14th will be his first
major TV appearance for the BBC since the incident. His performance
on the football field will be shown the following day on Football
Focus.
Also
taking part at the event were a team of Manchester United look-a-likes
who had ManU’s looks but unfortunately not their talent!
