Children In Need 2023 line-up - celebrity guests and host making history tonight
BBC Children In Need is to return to our screens this week with a few new presenters hosting the fundraising show.
Earlier this week, BBC Radio 2 presenter Vernon Kay was hailed a "legend" as he raised four million pounds for Children In Need after completing a 116 mile run from Leicester to Bolton. Speaking of his experience Vernon told BBC Radio presenter Zoe Ball at the finish line: "It's been one of the most painful and joyous experiences I've ever had. Joking about needing a knee replacement he said: "It was just one foot in front of the other, that's what it was."

Asked whether he gets nervous before presenting, he said: "You always get nervous… then you get even more nervous if you aren’t nervous! You start to think “why am I not nervous?! What’s going on!? It’s a huge show at the end of the day. But the team and everyone involved are top class, so you know nothing major is going to go wrong… you just need to remember where to stand and make sure you can read the autocue!"
