This year Children in Need will be on Friday, November 17 on BBC One, and viewers can expect an evening of entertainment and special one-off shows.

Graham Norton will be presenting the appeal and throughout the evening he will be joined by a host of famous faces including Strictly's Tess Daly as well as wheelchair basketball player Ade Adepitan.

Last year, the charity event raised £60 million to help care and support vulnerable children across the globe.
