Line of Duty star Vicky McClure and her fiance and talkSPORT host Jonny Owen have agreed a sponsorship deal with non-league side Merthyr Town.
The couple's production company BYO Films will feature on the Southern League Premier South club's shorts for the upcoming 2021-22 season as part of the deal.
Mr Owen, an actor, filmmaker and radio presenter for talkSPORT, grew up in the Valleys town, and the move will come as a boost to the club, who were forced to abandon the 2020-21 season due to the effects of coronavirus restrictions.

"We both love the town and are passionate supporters of grassroots football. We wish the manager and the team every success this season and look forward to coming down when we can to cheer on the Martyrs”.
