Mason Mount and Declan Rice will take on Jack Whitehall in a special game of mini golf for this year's Comic Relief appeal.

England duo Mason Mount and Declan Rice will take on comedian Jack Whitehall in a mini golf challenge for this year's Comic Relief.

The childhood best mates will face off against each other and Arsenal fan Whitehall in the event, which will be shown as part of Red Nose Day later this month - and the loser must face a "hilarious forfeit".

"I do love my golf and I cannot wait to take on Mason Mount and Jack Whitehall at mini golf all in aid of Comic Relief," said West Ham midfielder Rice.

"I remember watching Comic Relief growing up and seeing what brilliant work it does for those in need, in our country and the rest of the world. I'll be taking part in this year's big television fundraiser, and encourage you all to support if you are able."

Mount, midfielder for Chelsea, added: "I can't wait to get involved with Comic Relief this year, I've grown up watching it so it feels amazing to be a part of the action.

"We've got tough competition with Jack and I feel like he might have a few tricks up his sleeve, but hopefully our skills from the pitch transfer over to the mini golf course.

"It's all for a good cause but we'll never live this one down if we lose."

The challenge will air on BBC One as part of Comic Relief on the evening of Friday, March 18.
