The stars were out on Saturday as acting royalty attended EFL matches at Wrexham and Blackburn Rovers.

The STōK Cae Ras is used to the Hollywood spotlight, but that didn't stop home fans buzzing with excitement to see Channing Tatum in attendance alongside co-owner Ryan Reynolds.

Tatum, who portrayed Gambit alongside Reynolds in Marvel's Deadpool and Wolverine mega-hit this year, witnessed the Red Dragons play out an exciting 2-2 draw with Cambridge United in Sky Bet League One.

"And just like that I'm in Wales bout to see a Wrexham match! Let's gooo," the Magic Mike star posted on his Instagram Stories before the game, before joining Reynolds for a walk on the pitch and greeting fans.

The pair had been seen in the city the night before, along with fellow actor Brandon Sklenar, at the Fat Boar pub, where Reynolds treated punters to a drink on him.

And not to be outdone, over in Lancashire Blackburn Rovers played host to their own acting superstar, with former Dr Who Matt Smith appearing.

Smith, who played Prince Phillip in the Netflix series the Crown, was given a pitchside tour of Ewood Park before posing for photos with the match mascots.

Sporting a shaved-on-the-sides-and-spiked-in-the-middle haircut, which Smith confirmed is for a role, said: "It's like a childhood dream."

And the presence of the Doctor seemed to do the trick for Rovers, who were 2-0 winners against Luton Town in the Sky Bet Championship.
