Joe Wicks reveals he'll be attempting Radio 2’s BBC Children in Need Challenge for 2020.

Joe Wicks is revealed to be taking part in this year's BBC Children in Need Challenge for Radio 2. Plus Michaela Strachan chats to Zoe about the new series of Autumnwatch.

Joe Wicks is revealed by Zoe to be the brave challenger to attempt to work out for an incredible 24 hours for Radio 2’s BBC Children in Need Challenge 2020. The Joe Wicks 24 Hour PE Challenge will see Joe start his work-out at 9.25am on Thursday 12 November, endeavouring to finish a day later at 9.25am on Friday 13 November. Joe will be doing a range of activities from cycling to yoga, boxing to rowing... and of course his signature HIIT workouts. He’ll also be joined via Zoom by a host of celebrity guests - including Radio 2 presenters - throughout the 24 hours to give him loads of encouragement in his challenge to help raise funds for BBC Children in Need.

Michaela Strachan chats to Zoe about the new series of Autumnwatch coming soon to the BBC. Michaela will be based at Tentsmuir Forest in Fife where she will be covering, among other things, a live camera set-up on the Isle of May as the grey seals haul out for pupping. She has been presenting since 1986 on a variety of programmes from The Wide Awake Club to The Hitman And Her, The Really Wild Show to Michaela’s Wild Challenge, Elephant Diaries to Countryfile to Springwatch and many many more. 

Plus Jay's Virtual Radio Quiz returns for another edition where the team are challenged to find out just who has the best general knowledge.

Along with Claire Runacres on news, Richie Anderson on travel and Mike Williams on sport, she and the team have the best start to your morning. With celeb guests, quizzes, headlines, tunes chosen by listeners, and more music than you can shake a glitterball at!

There's also a daily Pause For Thought from Guvna B and listeners on the line, as Zoe entertains the nation with fun for the family!

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
