What time is Children in Need 2024 on TV tonight, what's the schedule and who are the presenters?

Children in Need is back on BBC One tonight with its annual live show, hoping to raise large funds to help kids across the country. This year, for the first time ever, the BBC Children in Need Choir will feature children from across all parts of the UK who’ve been supported by BBC Children in Need funded projects.

They’ll come together in the studio to sing Take That classic Never Forget. The One Show’s Challenge Squad, which features young people who have been supported by BBC Children in Need projects, will culminate in two live performances in the BBC Children in Need Studio, alongside guests including Ella Henderson.

The audience can also expect a performance from the cast of COME ALIVE! The Greatest Showman. There will also be a visit from the stars of BBC’s Gladiators and Paddy McGuinness will find out the total raised by his Radio 2 Ultra Endurance Cycle Challenge.
