England football captain Harry Kane is set to switch the Three Lions on his shirt for a bedtime book about finding your inner lion for Cbeebies.
The Tottenham Hotspur striker, 29, is the latest famous face to sign up for the Bedtime Story series on the popular kids show and will read The Lion Inside written by Rachel Bright and illustrated by Jim Field.
The tale, which was picked by the goalscorer himself, follows the main character's journey overcoming fear to help find your inner lion through self-belief. It sees a shy little mouse set out on a journey to discover his roar.
The episode sees the footballer read to book to his three children to remind them how even the smallest creatures can have the heart of a lion.
Kane shares three children, Ivy, Vivienne Jane and Louis, with his wife Katie Goodland.
Ahead of the episode, which airs on Monday October 10 and marks World Mental Health Day, Kane said: "One of my favourite things to do is sit down with my children before bedtime and read them a book. I enjoy this quality time with them. They especially love the book The Lion Inside so they will be extremely excited to hear this."
This year's theme for the important day is "make mental health and wellbeing for all a global priority" and aligns with Kane's chosen book as it touches on themes of "friendship, confidence and self-esteem", the BBC said.
Earlier this year, the Duchess of Cambridge narrated the modern children's classic, The Owl Who Was Afraid Of The Dark, by Jill Tomlinson, to mark Children's Mental Health Week.
The story, which is illustrated by Belfast artist Paul Howard, tells the story of a baby barn owl named Plop, who is helped by others to grow in confidence and overcome his fears.
The duo are just two famous faces to have been involved in Cbeebies Bedtime Stories. Other celebs to have picked up a book for the camera include singer Harry Styles, Thor star Chris Hemsworth, Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl, US actor Steve Carell and actress and Strictly Come Dancing winner Rose Ayling-Ellis, who signed her story in British Sign Language.
Harry Kane will read The Lion Inside on CBeebies at 6.50pm on October 10, with the special also set to be available on the iPlayer.
