Vernon Kay has joined the presenting lineup for this year's Children in Need telethon alongside Rochelle Humes, Mel Giedroyc, Chris Ramsey, Ade Adepitan and Lenny Rush.
The six will share hosting duties on the night of Friday, November 15 on BBC One as the annual fundraiser returns with a mixture of comedy sketches, live music performances and celebrity appearances.
"I'm truly honoured to be a presenter for BBC Children in Need this year, supporting such an incredible cause," said Kay, who took on an 'Ultramarathon' challenge for the charity last year.
"Last year's knee-ruining run from Leicester to Bolton was brutal, one of the toughest things I've ever done, so I'm thrilled to be joining you from the comfort of MediaCity this time!
"Children in Need is such a special charity, changing lives in the most amazing ways, and I couldn't be prouder to be part of this year's big night!"
Humes, who last hosted the show in 2019, added: "Nothing brings the UK together quite like BBC Children in Need and I'm so delighted to be back in the studio this year.
"I'm always blown away by the generosity and spirit of the night, and it's a wonderful cause so close to my heart. I'm sure there will be many laughs, tears, surprises and a whole heap of inspiration in store for us all on the night."
Since launching in 1980, Children in Need has raised more than £1 billion for charities supporting disadvantaged youngsters in the UK and around the world.
