A host of stars are at MediaCity’s dock10 today for Sir Lenny Henry’s final Red Nose Day.
Already parked up at the studios is James Bond’s Aston Martin, made famous by Die Another Day, which has been donated by Chris Evans and CarFest.
Kate Winslet will be taking a unique approach to the CBeebies Bedtime Story, with a reading of F***, Now There Are Two of You.
Suranne Jones, Jonathan Bailey, Catherine Tate and Sally Phillips are among the cast for The Traitors: The Movie and the W1A cast reunite in a bid to find Sir Lenny’s replacement as host. North Norfolk Digital’s most prolific radio host, Alan Partridge will be riding the regional airwaves all the way from his studio joined by Sidekick Simon.
Airing from 7pm, there will also be appearances from Julia Roberts, Olivia Colman, Hugh Grant and Liam Neeson, while Sir Lenny Henry will be performing Barbie cover, I’m Just Len.
Comic Relief is based at MediaCity and money raised by Red Nose Day will go towards organisations helping to tackle some of the urgent problems faced by people in the UK and around the world.
Comic Relief: Funny for Money is made by BBC Studios Entertainment.
