Football star David Beckham is to answer BBC Radio 2 listeners' questions in a show to be aired on Christmas Day.
The audience will choose the line of questioning and musical backdrop on the two-hour programme, hosted by former X Factor presenter Kate Thornton.
"David signing up to do this is a real coup," she said. "We are delighted he has agreed to open himself up."
Listeners are being invited to submit questions for Beckham. The show will be recorded shortly before Christmas.
Postal, phone and online submissions will be accepted by Radio 2 until midnight on 7 December, and can be the "questions fans have always wanted to ask".
Requests for songs which remind listeners of the England and Los Angeles Galaxy footballer are also being invited.
Thornton added: "I am merely the ref and, yes, I do know the offside rule!"
David Beckham's Line of Enquiry will be broadcast on the station on Christmas Day at 1510 BST following the Queen's Christmas message.
