They'll join last year's hosts, Ade Adepitan MBE, Mel Giedroyc, Chris Ramsey and Lenny Rush.
Off the back of his heroic Ultramarathon challenge with BBC Radio 2, which raised over £6 million for last year’s Appeal, Vernon Kay will join the presenting line up for BBC Children in Need 2024 on Friday 15th November, alongside Rochelle Humes, who returns to hosting duties for the first time since 2019.
As announced on tonight’s The One Show, Vernon Kay and Rochelle Humes will be joining this year’s line up alongside Ade Adepitan MBE, Mel Giedroyc, Chris Ramsey and Lenny Rush.
The six will be live on BBC One and iPlayer from MediaCityUK, Salford, at 7pm on Friday 15th November 2024 to take viewers through a sparkling evening of fun and fundraising.
On joining this year's presenting team, Vernon Kay 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!"
To which Rochelle Humes added "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."
BBC Children in Need promises a night of heart and sparkle when it returns brighter than ever, with a must-watch event that lights up the viewing calendar and warms the hearts of audiences everywhere.
The three-hour extravaganza promises to dazzle the nation whilst raising life-changing funds for children and young people across the UK. The need has never been greater as right now the charity is only able to fund 1 in 8 of the organisations who ask for money.
Returning to host BBC Children in Need, Ade Adepitan MBE 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!"
To which Mel Giedroyc added "It’s great to be back presenting such a magical show! You can expect a memorable evening in support of raising funds for children and youth across the UK."
Also returning to host this year's BBC Children in Need, Chris Ramsey 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."
To which Lenny Rush, who hosted the show for the first time in 2023, becoming the show's youngest ever presenter, said "I am thrilled to be back for this year’s BBC Children in Need. It’s such an honour to be part of such a special production which helps raise money for both children and young people in the UK facing disadvantages."
On the night, the fabulous hosts will lead an unforgettable evening filled with star-studded sketches, sensational musical acts, show-stopping performances and plenty of surprises from some of the UK’s most loved celebrities. Further details will be revealed in due course.
Money raised during the 2024 appeal will help BBC Children in Need to continue working in communities across the four nations, funding amazing people in family centres, community spaces, youth clubs and refuges; homeless shelters, hospices and helplines.
This year, BBC Children in Need is asking the public to make life lighter for children all across the UK. Throughout the night, appeal films will feature some of the children and young people whose lives have been changed through the support of BBC Children in Need, and the project workers who work tirelessly to help them.
BBC Children in Need airs Friday 15th November from 7pm on BBC One
