Cold Feet and Downton Abbey star Robert Bathurst reveals how one Brighton match changed everything and why his love for the Seagulls runs deeper than ever.

Robert tells us how a trip to the Withdean back in 2009 got him hooked on football again and kicked off his lifelong love for Albion.

From muddy kickabouts as a kid and watching George Best work his magic, to seeing Brighton’s amazing rise from the lower leagues to European nights, he shares all the ups and downs of being a fan.

We also learn about Robert's early career, the life changing job he turned down and how football and theatre bring people together.
