Sir Lenny Henry, Davina McCall and Paddy McGuiness have been named among the hosts for the BBC's coronavirus fundraiser Big Night In.
The joint venture between Comic Relief and Children In Need will aim to raise money for the two charities to help those most in need as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, with the government already pledging to match pound for pound all donations made during the telethon.
Other presenters of the show include Matt Baker and Zoe Ball, while Peter Kay, Catherine Tate and Gary Barlow are among the confirmed celebrity performers.
"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," said Henry.
"We want to shine a light on the amazing things communities are doing and keep you entertained whilst you can't leave your homes. Both charities will be supporting a huge number of smaller charities and projects that will be protecting the most vulnerable people in society, so it's going to be a brilliant night for a great cause."
Big Night In will air next Thursday, April 23, between 7pm and 10pm on BBC One.
