A cast member from ITV reality show The Only Way Is Essex will have to find his way to Hertfordshire for a charity Valentine’s Day party in Stevenage next Friday.

The event has been organised by charities Child UK and Future Inc, which put on events and sports sessions for young people.

The February 13 event is for over 13s only, and tickets cost £5.

The charities will also run a series of free sports days over half term from Monday, February 16, to Thursday, February 19, at the town’s Bowes Lyon Centre.

Sports on offer include trampolining, archery, boxing, cheerleading, zumba, basketball and football, as well as dodgeball and ultimate frisbee.

Each activity will take place in hour-long or half-hour sessions between 2pm -4pm in the main sports hall and the second sports hall.
