Who are the presenters on Friday's Comic Relief show?
Red Nose Day's annual show never fails to have some great names backing the cause, presenting the live programme and introducing the celebrities set to be performing or taking part in a sketch.
However, due to COVID, there have been a few changes to the lineup of hosts. Earlier in the week, comedian and The Masked Singer presenter, Joel Dommett, announced he had tested positive for the virus so would not be taking part.
