BBC Children in Need will once again be broadcasting its annual live appeal show from dock10 at MediaCityUK on Friday November 18.
From Blankety Blank to The Weakest Link, the annual fundraiser will be packed with its usual blend of exclusive sketches, performances, music, dance and a few surprises!
As always, the live TV spectacle will raise money for children and young people across the UK facing a range of challenges, who need help now more than ever.
This year the show will be hosted by Ade Adepitan MBE, Mel Giedroyc, Chris Ramsey, Alex Scott MBE and, for the first time, comedian Jason Manford.
Highlights from this year’s programme will include special episodes of Blankety Blank with Bradley Walsh, a live on-stage reveal from The Repair Shop, the annual Terry Wogan fundraiser of the Year Award and, for the first time ever, and a special performance from the UK’s representative at this year’s Junior Eurovision.
Lewis Capaldi, Diversity, Keane and the BBC Children in Need Choir will also be performing live, alongside a selection of appeal films highlighting this year’s good causes.
Money raised through BBC Children in Need’s 2022 Appeal will be used to provide vital frontline support to children and young people across the UK during the cost of living crisis, supporting them to thrive and be the best they can be.
