Danny Dyer looked to be getting stuck in as he took part in the Sellebrity Soccer charity match at at Hartley Wintney FC in Hampshire on Sunday.
The former EastEnders star, 47, didn’t hold back as he dribbled the ball while swapping the stage for the sports pitch.
The presenter cut a sporty figure in a black sports top and shorts, while he protected his legs with some chin pads.
Completing the look with yellow trainers, Danny appeared focused as he slicked his hair back.
During the game he looked slightly sweatier than he did when he arrived as he kept it casual in navy jumper and jeans.

Danny was joined by several other big names at the fun-filled charity event, including Katie Price’s ex Kieran Hayler, Dan Osborne and Calum Best.
The stars were all in high spirits as they made their way onto the pitch to take part in the annual event.
Founded in 2012 by Darren Eadie and Kevin Cooper, Sellebrity Soccer raises money for charity through organising celebrity football matches at both smaller grounds and Premier League stadiums.
Danny’s appearance at the recent match comes after he revealed he and his family ‘stepped up’ to help his daughter Dani with raising her three children, while her fiancé Jarrod Bowen was away at the Euros this summer.
The actor welcomed his first grandchild when his daughter Dani Dyer, 28, gave birth to Santiago, three, with her former partner Sammy Kimmence.
The reality star then gave birth to twins Summer and Star with footballer Jarrod Bowen in 2023, and her dad has explained how he and his wife Joanne Mas, 47, help with babysitting duties on top of being parents to Sunnie, 17, and son Arty, 10.
He told The Sunday Times Style Magazine: ‘Jarrod’s a great dad but he’s very busy. He was away all over the summer and Dani was flying back and forth.
‘It’s difficult to juggle that and the children, so we’ve come to the front as a family, as you do. We’re just trying to bring up decent human beings.’

Danny – who had been in a relationship with Joanne Mas for decades by the time they tied the knot in 2016 – also noted that it is a strange phenomenon watching his daughter have kids.
He said: ‘It’s mad seeing your children have kids. My Dani, she’s such an amazing human being. We’ve got a special bond.
‘We had her when I was 18, so I was still a baby myself. We grew up together. She’s seen my highs and lows, and she’s one of my very best mates.’
Even though Danny ‘wasn’t thrilled’ when his eldest signed up for the ITV2 dating show, they have since gone on to become a presenting duo together.
Danny also noted that because both his daughter and future son-in-law Jarrod, 27, are away a lot for work, he and Jo step in to take on babysitting duties.
He admitted that while it is a lot to ‘juggle that and the children’, it is something they ‘just do’ as a family in their attempt to raise a ‘decent bunch’ of kids.
Upon becoming a a grandfather for the first time, Dani explained that her dad welled up while admitting that he had ‘never’ had a feeling like it and become unexpectedly emotional.
Speaking on the Made By Mammas podcast, she said: ‘My dad didn’t realise [he] would be so emotional [about being a granddad]. He has been so emotional around Santiago, the other day he was really crying.
‘He went: ‘I love babies, but your baby. I have never felt anything like it. I didn’t think I’d feel like this’.
