Peter Kay is among the first celebrities announced for the BBC's new fundraiser. The Big Night In will see BBC Children In Need and Comic Relief join forces for the first time in a bid to raise money to help fight the coronavirus outbreak.
The three-hour live telethon, which will take place on Thursday April 23, will include prize giveaways, live music from artists at home and a series of celebrity appearances, the BBC said.
The show will also give viewers the opportunity to donate, for those who feel able to do so, to help support vulnerable people of all ages and backgrounds across the UK who will be significantly impacted by the crisis.
