Children In Need 2016: Everything you need to know!

Get ready for another emotional rollercoaster of a show!

| Updated:

Children In Need is back this month and boy, oh boy, it’s going to be a corker!

SO many stars join super brave members of the public to raise money for charity and the skits, songs, sketches, are looking to be pretty spectacular.

Of course, this is the first telethon since Terry Wogan passed away so will also be very emotional for everybody involved.

It will give the public and the celebs more of a reason to raise as much money as possible in his honour.

The annual fundraiser will take place on Friday 18 November, and kicks off at 7.30pm on BBC One after The One Show.

Graham was especially eager to continue Terry Wogan’s legacy and said: “It is a huge privilege to join the presenting team for the Children In Need Appeal show.

“This year wed love to raise as much money as we possibly can in honour of the late Sir Terry Wogan.”

Craig David will also be making an appearance as he is the one chosen to sing the Children In Need single. It’s called All We Needed, and is taken from his new album called Following My Intuition.

Peter Andre, Alex Jones and Frankie Bridge will all be there too!

Guess who else will be performing on the night? The one and only Ricky Gervais!
