Yahoo News Who are the presenters and hosts on BBC Children in Need 2024?
Children In Need is set to return to our screens tomorrow. BBC One's annual telethon to raise funds for young people across the UK will get underway at 7pm.
Six hosts have been confirmed for the event, which raises money for an incredibly important cause. Vernon Kay is set to host the show for the first time after his inspiring Ultramarathon challenge raised over £6m for last year's appeal.
The Radio 2 presenter is privileged to be a part of the vital fundraiser. He said: "I’m truly honoured to be a presenter for BBC Children in Need this year, supporting such an incredible cause.
"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!”.

She said: "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”.
Ade Adepitan MBE, Mel Giedroyc, Chris Ramsey and Lenny Rush complete the presenting line-up for the event, which is being broadcast from the BBC studio in MediaCityUK.
Wheelchair basked star turned TV presenter Ade said he is honoured to show his support for such a valuable cause. He said: “I am beyond excited to be back as a presenter for BBC Children in Need. It's such an important cause to raise money for children and young people across the UK that need support. This live show will be brighter and more dazzling than ever before so make sure to tune in for an unforgettable night!”.
Stand up comedian Chris Ramsey agreed as he said: "I'm truly honoured (and always very pleasantly surprised!) to be invited back to present BBC Children in Need. It's an incredible cause, and a such a huge television event that only grows more impactful every year.
Being part of something that makes such a real difference is a genuine privilege, especially seeing how the funds raised directly support those in need—now more than ever, that support is essential".
