Red Nose Day will air Friday 17 March at 7pm on BBC One.
This year, the Comic Relief nose that gives Red Nose Day its name has also been given its “most dramatic makeover” since it debuted in 1988.
Among the exclusive entertainment on the night will come an appearance from Kylie Minogue in a one-off special of the BBC comedy Ghosts.
Speaking about the lasting impact of Comic Relief, co-founder Richard Curtis said that Red Nose Day has been “an enormous confirmation of the goodwill of the British public”.
