Jack Whitehall: Training Days

Jack Whitehall: Training Days

The 'Bad Education' star will front YouTube show 'Jack Whitehall: Training Days', which will see the comedian take several top-class pros, such as England's Raheem Sterling, Kyle Walker and Dele Alli, and Spanish star Cesc Fabregas, out of their comfort zones.

He said: "One of the great things about comedy is getting out of your comfort zone, so I certainly made it my job to get these football stars out of theirs.

"It's been great working with them on 'Training Days' and showing fans a different side to them.

"Filming this series has been a great warm-up to the World Cup and I hope you enjoy watching as much as I did making it."

The series will launch on May 9th and see Jack take Spurs star Alli to a haunted house, Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho on a disastrous driving lesson, and he will turn Real Madrid's Welsh forward Gareth Bale into a waxwork.

Several big YouTube creators, including Joe Sugg, Manny, Joe Wicks and The F2 Freestylers, will also be involved in the video-sharing site's original programme, which has been developed with Fulwell73, the team behind 'Carpool Karaoke: The Series' and football documentary 'The Class of 92'.

Gabe Turner, of Fulwell73, said: "It's a real privilege to be working with YouTube on 'Jack Whitehall: Training Days'.

"The concept for the show lends itself well to bringing out a different side to our superstars and feels like a perfect fit with YouTube's audience.

"It's an opportunity to spend time with some of the biggest names in world football and create some truly memorable moments."

The series - which will air on Jack's YouTube channel - will also feature German international footballers Mario Götze and Thomas Muller, Colombian striker Radamel Falcao, and South Korean hot-shot Son Heung-min.
