Harry Redknapp who is appearing alongside his wife, Sandra said: “Play Your Cards Right is an absolute TV classic. We are so looking forward to appearing on the show, I don’t think it’s any secret that I can be a little competitive so Sandra and I are definitely going to be trying our best to win something for my charity, that’s for sure.”
