No more red cards for Declans: Asda steps in after Rice sunburn mishap

Asda is helping the nation’s Declans avoid a red-faced summer by offering free sun cream to customers named Declan via the Asda Rewards app, following England midfielder Declan Rice’s sunburnt training appearance.

After Rice was spotted looking red-faced in a squad photo shoot, he revealed he’d been told off by his mum for forgetting to wear sun protection.

Asda is now stepping in to make sure other Declans don’t make the same mistake.

From today (Friday 12th June), Asda Rewards users named Declan can claim a free bottle of sun cream via the app, available until kick-off of England’s next match on Wednesday at 9pm.

Alyssa Ashford, Asda's Suncare Buyer, said: “We’ve all been there – a bit of sunshine, a busy day, and before you know it, you’ve caught the sun. After hearing Declan Rice got a telling-off from his mum, our motherly instincts kicked in. We just wanted to step in and make sure Declans everywhere stay protected and don’t make the same mistake. Whether they’re out watching the football or counting down to England’s big match, hopefully there’ll be fewer mums needing to have a stern word with their Declan.”

To redeem, customers named Declan simply need to:

• Log into the Asda Rewards app

• Head to their Rewards

• Claim their free sun cream before Wednesday’s 9pm kick-off
