Former Oxford Harlequins director of rugby Matt Maudsley is urging Oxford Mail readers to back his bid to win a singing competition.

Maudsley has entered the Gatwick Factor competition, which has the prize of a family holiday in Lapland.

He said: “Please can you click on the website link and vote (once only) for me and my boy Charlie, even if you think I’m not very good.”
