In new Disney animation

Jack Whitehall provides the voice of a troll priest in a new animated Disney movie.

The comedian joins Veronica Mars star Kristen Bell in the cast of Frozen, set in a kingdom where it is perpetually winter.

He plays Gothi the Troll Priest who can conduct weddings and who appears in a chorus of trolls in one of the songs in the film.

Whitehall said: 'It's very exciting to be lending my voice to a Disney animated movie. I'm a big Disney fan and Robin Hood and The Lion King were my favourites growing up.

'I'm delighted to be voicing one of the comedy characters in Frozen and hopefully one day Disney will give me a bigger part!'

The cast of the film, which is released in the UK on December 6, also includes Josh Gad, Alan Tudyk and Idina Menzel.
