Who is Chesney Hawkes? Reality TV star and singer performs at World Cup Wales v England game

Popstar Chesney Hawkes is set to deliver a half-time performance for Wales and England fans at tonight's World Cup clash at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan.

The 51-year-old is best known for his smash hit single 'I Am The One and Only', which topped the UK Singles Chart for five weeks back in 1991. And it is that song that he'll belt out this evening.

Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live on Tuesday, the singer said: "I'm excited to be here, I'm a massive football fan. I thought I’d give them the one song, my jazz solo record."
