Who is Kem Cetinay in Soccer Aid 2021?

It's his third time at Soccer Aid but could Kem Cetinay make it the World XI's third win in a row?

The former Love Island star is returning to the pitch, this time at the Etihad Stadium, for another entertaining night of football.

Celebrities from the world of music, TV, and sport will once again be donning their football boots all in aid of charity.

Now in its 10th year, donations from Soccer Aid go to Unicef and this year the focus will again be on the global impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

As for Kem, he is best known for appearing on Love Island back in 2017 - where the former hairdresser won the series alongside Amber Davies.

But it wasn't the love story fans were hoping for.

The pair remained together throughout 2017, before splitting in December of that year.

Following his stint on the reality dating show he starred, with fellow islander Chris Hughes, on spin-off program Chris & Kem: Straight Outta Love Island.

They later released a single, Little Bit of Leave It, which reached 15 in the UK charts.

Kem, 25, then went on to appear on Dancing on Ice in 2018 and finished in fourth place with partner Alex Murphy.

He has since been a backstage reporter on the show, had various presenting stints during ITV's This Morning and co-hosts Love Island podcast The Morning After.

Kem is also currently taking part in the new series of Celebrity MasterChef.

As for Soccer Aid, although born in Essex, Kem is back representing the World XI due to his Turkish Cypriot roots.
