Clare Balding presents a star-studded Sport Relief netball match as team captains Jennifer Saunders and Oti Mabuse take to the court in a one hour special filmed as part of the Netball World Cup finals last summer.
The netball newbies are ditching their usual attire and donning netball bibs to help raise money and change lives in the UK and internationally. Follow the intrepid squad’s journey from the very first training session through to the nail-biting final in front of a capacity crowd at the M&S Bank Arena.
Huge netball fan and comedy legend Jennifer Saunders is hoping to carry out a childhood dream of lifting a sporting trophy, but she’ll face tough competition from Strictly Come Dancing’s Oti Mabuse who grew up playing netball in South Africa. She’ll be hoping her years of dance training pay off as she hotfoots it around the court.
Eager to make their captains proud are team players Montana Brown (Love Island), Denise Lewis (ex-heptathlete & former Olympic champion), Sarah Hadland (actress and comedian, Miranda), Sally Phillips (actress and comedian, Smack the Pony), Sue Smith (commentator and ex-England footballer), Ellie Taylor (presenter and comedian, The Mash Report), Vick Hope (presenter), Luisa Omielan (comedian), Adele Roberts (BBC Radio 1 DJ), Dame Katherine Grainger (ex-rower and former Olympic champion), Lindsey Russell (presenter, Blue Peter), Jade Jones (taekwondo athlete & Olympic gold medallist) and Katherine Merry (ex-sprinter & former Olympian medallist).
