Sussex celebrities are limbering up to take part in an "all-star" TV golf showdown.

Supermodel Jodie Kidd, who grew up in the county, has been signed up for the European team for the Sky One show, which will also feature Jamie Theakston, who hails from Ditchling, as one of the hosts.

The All-Star Cup will have two teams of ten celebrities from the world of film, television and sport taking part in the golf tournament at the Celtic Manor Resort in South Wales.

Miss Kidd, who has a handicap of 18, said: "I will take it very seriously.

Two weeks, three weeks before, it will start getting very serious, I'm sure.

"I seem to do very male-dominated sports so I feel quite comfortable on that level. I am naturally very competitive and I love golf."

Other names confirmed on the European team are Chris Evans, Boris Becker, James Nesbitt and Sir Steve Redgrave. The American team boasts Samuel L Jackson, Sylvester Stallone, Andy Garcia, Chris O'Donnell and Haley Osment.

The event will be hosted by TV presenters Ant and Dec and will be broadcast over the bank holiday weekend of August 27 to 29.
