The Warrington-born superstar will be hoping to improve upon last year’s results, where he, along with his Team Target team mates, world champions Adrian Lewis and Rob Cross plus Target Darts boss Garry Plummer finished last.
Liverpool’s boxing legend Tony Bellew will also take part in the challenge. The star took part in the recent Soccer Aid tournament, but sadly left the pitch early due to an injury.
The Sports Stars Fishing Championship raises tens of thousands of pounds each year for various charities with this year’s beneficiaries including The Willow Foundation, Haven House Hospice and St Francis Hospice.
The event will be broadcast on a delayed basis in a two hour show on ITV4. The date is yet to be confirmed.
