Tara Palmer-Tomkinson and Jodie Kidd to show jump for charity
Fans of reality TV have a treat in store at the Express Eventing International Cup at the Cardiff Millennium Stadium on 30 November, in the shape of a jump-off between Tara Palmer-Tomkinson and Jodie Kidd.
The Strictly Come Dancing star and model Jodie will take on I’m a Celebrity’s Tara head-to-head for a charity show jumping round before the main event.
The girls, who are both keen riders, will tackle the same show jumps that will form part of the international competition later in the day.
Express Eventing is a new idea where the three-day event format is condensed into just half a day, indoors.
Eventing legends Mark Todd, William Fox-Pitt, Tina Cook, Mary King and many others are signed up to take part on 30 November.
