The dinner took place with the lads and some teammates at Champneys spa in Tring, Herts, where they have been training for the match at Old Trafford.

A source said: “There is no beef between the pair and they’re both going to ensure their love lives don’t distract from such a big charity spectacle. They are fully aware that their every move is being scrutinised and they’ve broken bread with their teammates, so it’ll be smooth sailing on the day.”;

Zara has already ruled herself out of attending.

Sam also presented a video of his charity work in Guatemala to both sets of players.

He said: “I did a small talk in front of everyone, which was terrifying, and I maintain I think it’s the most important thing I’ve done in my 32 years of life.

“I really do believe that. Getting to go to Guatemala to see what UNICEF do on the ground is just life-changing.”;

Unfortunately, Sam has been ruled out of playing in the game.

He suffered injuries during his 260-mile running and cycling trek between London and Manchester, in aid of UNICEF, ahead of the match.

Sam explained: “I’m now part of the coaching team, so I’m going to be on the sidelines along with Vicky McLure and also Tyson Fury, and I’m going to be putting my two pence in.

“But I will still get to be part of it all.”;

He added: “He’s very similar to my old number two Joe Jordan. He was very quiet and would just look at an opposing manager and go ‘shut it’ and they would not say another word.”;

It started earlier this year when the Perfect singer bashed London chippies, saying: “You should always be able to see the sea when you have fish and chips, so anywhere that does traditional fish and chips in London. It’s like getting sushi in Alabama.”;

To which proud Cockney geezer Danny fired back: “That would only be a man who is not from London who would say that.

“I think he’s from Ipswich, which I think sums him up.”;
Ouch.

But Ed whisked actor Danny off to see his beloved West Ham play Ipswich Town last month.

In a pre-recorded podcast chat with Louis Theroux, which has just dropped, Ed said: “I was asked about fish and chips and I said you have to see the seaside to eat them, and I wouldn’t necessarily want to eat them in London. He took a big offence to that.

“It was a jokey offence, he had a pop at me and I got in contact with him and just said, ‘Come to Ipswich’.”;

He added: “I love Danny Dyer, we used to have Danny Dyer nights on tour. We watched every single Danny Dyer film.”;

West Ham won 3 -1, so Danny had the last laugh.
