|  | It's comforting to know that even someone as busy and athletic as Harvey can get ratted until the small hours. The So Solid Crew star was nursing a hangover at 2.30pm when I rang. "I'm in bed at the moment," he rasps, "I went to the PFA (Professional Football Association) awards last night and I didn't get home until 5am." Thankfully the garage music star can combine hangovers with physical exertion. The 24-year-old not only won Channel 4's The Games - a celeb reality TV version of the Olympics - but is also a professional footballer who plays for Lewisham FC. On Sunday 23rd May he'll be at the Mad Stad in the Soccer Six tournament, where celeb studs don the footie studs to play football for charity. "It's going to be brilliant," he says of Soccer Six, "this is my third year now so I'm a bit of a granddad! We won it last year, but the main thing is that it's for charity and that all your fans have a chance to get close to you." It won't be the first time he's been to the Madejski Stadium, having travelled there many times to see his mate Sean Davis play for Fulham Under 21s. He also played the Hexagon beginning of this year. Apart from football Harvey is a very busy man, working on a solo music career as well as starring in his own TV show and presenting on Kiss 100 FM. "I've got my new show on Sky 1, Premiership Footballer's Pads, and I've recorded an Asian track. I've just got back from making the video in Bombay, it's called Whose That Girl Dancing. Also I've just recorded a track with Simon from Blue, so yeah, quite a few projects." After acting in Steven Seagal's "Out for a Kill" 2003 he's also carving out a film career. "That film has opened a lot of doors for me but I can't say anything more than that at the moment". Ooh, mysterious. So how does he bundle all these careers into one life? "It's a lot of work, but if you want to be successful then you've got work at it, if you sit on your ass all day you won't get anywhere." Still, Harvey manages to sit on his ass in bed all day and do amazingly well. Come and see Harvey play footie with other celebs including his missus Alesha from Mis-teeq, Blazin' Squad, Starsailor, Snow Patrol Ralph Little, Tony Hadley, Phixx, D-side and Goldie Lookin Chain. | When | Sunday 23rd May | | Where | Madejski Stadium
