Ian Botham is the latest famous face to throw his cricket cap in the ring on Brexit, in what's been called a "coup" for the Brexit campaign.

The cricketer nicknamed "Beefy", who was also a big backer of Shredded Wheat and buying British meat if his TV advert appearances are anything to go by, has called the whole Brussels thing "a racket".

Botham's not alone in "batting for Britain" (we see what you did there), following various, er, celebrities, vocally taking a side in the EU referendum debate. With voting day rolling ever closer, we can't help but wonder which other high profile names will take a side…. and make the front pages doing so. 

Feeling a bit forgetful about who's taken which side so far? Take our quiz below to see if you can remember – or guess, depending how much you were keeping up in the first place – who's in and who's out.
