ITV has announced a new one-off programme, On Yer Bike, which will see two teams of celebrities compete in a cycling race.
The 90-minute show, to be hosted by Freddie Flintoff, is being produced in conjunction with the annual Soccer Aid event and aims to raise money for UNICEF.
Cycling legend Sir Bradley Wiggins will coach the two teams as they face off over three legs in rural Yorkshire.
Representing Team England are Coronation Street star Sair Khan, Good Morning Britain weatherman Alex Beresford, actor Barney Walsh and Emmerdale's Rebecca Sarker, while the World team comprises Boyzone singer Keith Duffy, comedian Zoe Lyons, actor Joe McFadden and Love Island's Maura Higgins.
"I'm thrilled ITV have commissioned a show around cycling, it's great to be able to share my passion with so many people," said Wiggins.
"It's also a great opportunity to show off the glorious Yorkshire Dales - a tough route I've cycled many times. I can't wait to put the celebrities through their paces and see who will shine and who needs a little more practice in the saddle."
On Yer Bike will air in the week building up to the Soccer Aid match, which is scheduled for September 4.
