It's that time of year again; Comic Relief's Red Nose Day telethon will be back on our screens on Friday night (March 17).
Broadcasting on BBC One and iPlayer, the event will see some famous faces take on challenges and appear in sketches all for a good cause. Presenter AJ Odudu will be joined by actor David Tennant, comedian Joel Dommett, Top Gear's Paddy McGuinness and radio DJ Zoe Ball to host the programme, live from MediaCity in Salford.
This year the fundraiser will support people struggling with the cost-of-living crisis and tackle issues such as homelessness, mental health problems and food poverty. Comic Relief was co-founded by Richard Curtis and Sir Lenny Henry in 1985, building on the success of Band Aid and Live Aid. Red Nose Day used to take place once every two years, but that is no longer the case.
