OHMYGOSSIP — Calum Best is to star in a documentary about his first season as chairman of Dorking Wanderers FC Ladies.
The 41-year-old star – whose is the son of late footballing legend George Best, who died in 2005 aged 59 – is hoping the series, which has the working title ‘Squad Goals 3: Dorking Til I Die’, will show people “what grassroots women’s football is all about”.
He said: “Women’s football is attracting more and more attention and interest.
“I see this series as an opportunity to show what grassroots women’s football is all about – the challenges, the hard work and the highs and lows of a team and a club looking to create something special.”
The series, which is to launch on BBC Three later this year, will follow the Dorking Ladies team in their second season, and it will look at the players’ challenges off the field as well as on it.
Dov Freedman, Founder, Curious Films, said: “We are thrilled with the green light from BBC Three and Insight TV for a third season of Squad Goals which promises to be the most entertaining so far.
“Women’s grassroots football rarely gets much coverage and this will be an eye-opening series following a club in transition with a high-profile new chairman.”
Michael Jochnowitz, Commissioning Editor, added: “In the year of the Euros, the women’s game has never been bigger, and Squad Goals is fast establishing itself as a really important brand for us.
“And so a football series with the mythical Best name attached? It was a no-brainer.”
Calum has appeared on several reality shows, including ‘Celebrity Love Island’, ‘Come Dine With Me’, ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ and ‘Ex on the Beach’.
His father George was best known for playing for Manchester United, making more than 350 appearances for the Red Devils.
