Pop star Robbie Williams is to release the official Sports Relief single.

Proceeds from the track 'Morning Sun', to be released in March, will go towards the charity.

Robbie, who is also ambassador for UNICEF and patron of children's charity The Donna Louise Trust, said: "I am very happy to donate my time to help Sport Relief and I thank my co-writers for doing the same – please join us in helping this very worthwhile cause."

Previous celebrities who've put their name to the cause by releasing a single include Rachel Stevens, McFly and Leona Lewis.

The former Take That star is also to appear on the cover of REM's 'Everybody Hurts' song for the Helping Haiti charity appeal to support earthquake victims, which will feature his former bandmates.

The Sport Relief song 'Morning Sun' is set for release on March 8 ahead of the weekend of events from March 19 to 21.
