Jody's one-of-a-kind design titled 'Party Bus'

He has joined 150 other artists and celebrities, including Joe Lycett and Keith Lemon, in a charity campaign to fundraise for a Samaritans branch in Hertfordshire.

The celebrities were tasked with creating a piece of art out of a basic campervan stencil drawn by a fellow artist, Sarah Graham. The designs were then donated as part of the 'Samarivans' campaign to help raise money for the charity and spread awareness of the services it provides.

Jody's design, which he titled 'Party Bus', is a refection of the former footballer's own artwork but with a "positive spin". It will be auctioned online, alongside all other Samarivans artwork, on 22nd September.

Other celebrities who showcased their artistic flair for charity included James Bay, Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson, Kim Wilde, Timmy Mallett, Su Pollard, and Valerie Singleton.
