Lenny Henry, Davina McCall, Matt Baker, Zoe Ball and Paddy McGuinness will be hosting the show live. Henry said: “I’ve been part of the Comic Relief family for years, and at times like these it’s so important we all come together to support one another, which is why we’ve joined forces with BBC Children in Need for The Big Night In.
Now, the BBC has its own offering: The Big Night In.
The Big Night In will comply with the government’s social distancing guidelines, with many of the celebrities appearing via video links from their homes.
The Big Night In will air on BBC1 on Thursday 23 April from 7pm to 10pm.
