Louie Spence is to take part in a Sport Relief challenge in an attempt to break the 'sock slide' world record.
The Pineapple Dance Studios star will team up with Sainsbury's to help raise funds and awareness for the charity by trying to pull off the longest sock slide, as inspired by the classic scene from Risky Business starring Tom Cruise.
Spence said of the challenge: "Pull on a fabulous pair of Sport Relief socks and not only will you be supporting a great cause and raising money for Sport Relief, you can slide your way to the title of Sock Sliding Champion.
"Take your moment to shine - be creative, be original and leave the other contenders for dust!"
The Sainsbury's Sport Relief Sock Sliding Challenge will take place at eight Sainsbury's stores around the country. The longest sock slide at each store will receive a £100 gift card, while everyone who takes part will be placed into a prize draw to win a £500 gift card.
Each sock slider will have three attempts to record the longest continuous slide across a specially designed floor.
The attempt is open to anyone who purchases a pair of special socks from Sainsbury's or the Sport Relief website. Each pair costs £2.50, with £1.25 going directly to the charity.
The challenges will take place from February 21 to March 2 at the following stores:
Comedian John Bishop will also be taking part in a Sport Relief 290-mile triathlon from February 27.
