Lee Mack’s Road To Soccer Aid

ITV, 9pm

-

Among those taking part is Lee Mack – and the comedian (right) has been anxiously preparing, particular­ly as he has failed to score in this fixture after missing three penalty attempts.

Among those doling out their expert know-how are Olympic gold medallists Sir Mo Farah and Nicola Adams, as well as former England manager Sven-Göran Eriksson.
