Sunderland defender Wes Brown will feature in an episode of ITV's All Star Family Fortunes alongside his wife Leanne.

The 35-year-old, whose appearance is yet to be aired, competed against English actress Jill Halfpenny and her family, while Vernon Kay presented the show.

Brown's wife Leanne posted a photo of the team on Instagram, with the caption: "Looking forward to this weeks family fortunes! x it's the Brown's v's the Halfpenny's."

Brown is playing the game to raise money for the Beechwood cancer charity's Silver Wing Appeal.
