Live from MediaCityUK in Salford, BBC Children in Need returns with a three-hour spectacle to entertain the nation while raising money for children and young people across the UK.

Ahead is a night full of dazzling entertainment, jam-packed with exciting performances and some of the nation’s biggest stars as you’ve never seen them before.

There are special one-off sketches from some of the UK’s most-loved TV shows, including MasterChef and a very special parody of Race Across the World, and music from Jerub, Leigh-Anne, and the UK’s Junior Eurovision act STAND UNIQU3.

This year’s BBC Children in Need is hosted by Ade Adepitan MBE, Mel Giedroyc, Jason Manford, Chris Ramsey, Alex Scott MBE and, for the first time, Bafta and RTS award-winning actor – 14-year-old Lenny Rush.
