From rugby pitches to reality TV, Ben Foden’s journey after hanging up his boots has been anything but ordinary! 🏉➡️🎤➡️🏢 The former England full-back, known for his fierce plays in the Six Nations, surprised us all by swapping tackles for tunes and appearing on ‘The X-Factor: Celebrity’ in 2018. Part of the group, Try Star, Ben made it all the way to the semi-finals. Not too shabby, right?
His life off the field has seen him embrace new opportunities, including getting into real estate in the bustling streets of New York. From handling luxury properties to coaching the next generation of players, Ben’s always seeking the next adventure. Now, he’s ready to return to the UK as Director of Rugby at Scarborough College and Head Coach for Scarborough RFC. 🎓🏆
Ben’s personal life has also been newsworthy; he was married to Una Healy from The Saturdays, and now happily settled with wife Jackie Smith, sharing the joy of their family life. “Every day we strive for excellence,” Ben once said, and it’s clear that mantra fuels his diverse career path.
