This year’s BBC Children In Need event is scheduled for Friday evening, promising an array of engaging segments, including a humorous prank involving Timothée Chalamet and presenter Rylan Clark. During the broadcast, Chalamet—alongside co-stars Zendaya, Jason Momoa, and Anya Taylor-Joy—will take part in a playful interview designed to entertain, with secret assistance from three children who are helping behind the scenes to keep Rylan on his toes. The show aims to combine star power with emotional and physical challenges undertaken by young participants to raise funds for charity.
Among the exciting features of the evening, Radio 2 host Owain Wyn Evans embarks on the final stage of his extensive 400-mile cycling journey that spans Scotland, Northern Ireland, England, and Wales. Taking part in this arduous challenge for Children In Need, Wyn Evans follows in the steps of previous Radio 2 presenters such as Sara Cox and Paddy McGuinness who have pushed themselves in the name of charity. Joining Wyn Evans on his last leg in Wales is Harri, a 22-year-old who continues to cope with the long-term impacts of a brain tumour, and who is part of The One Show’s “challenge squad” alongside three other young people committing to personal tasks to support the cause.
The three-hour live broadcast originates from Salford, with a presenting team made up of Alex Jones, Mel Giedroyc, Rylan Clark, Sara Cox, and Tyler West. Viewers will also see Zoe, a 16-year-old with Down’s syndrome, preparing to dance with the High School Musical cast; Ana, who faces a rare physical condition and is undertaking a three-day kayaking challenge; and Serena, who will perform live in tribute to her late brother and a childhood friend. These young challengers exemplify this year’s Children In Need theme, “Challenge Yourself 2026,” which also includes Morning Live hosts Michelle Ackerley and Gethin Jones taking on new instruments for a live band performance during the show.
The event has attracted contributions from other well-known figures such as Joe Wicks and Emma Bunton. National landmarks including the Blackpool Tower, the London Eye, and Titanic Belfast will be illuminated in yellow to mark the occasion. Children In Need supports over 1,600 local charities and projects across the UK, with last year’s appeal raising more than £45 million to aid children and young people nationwide. The 2024 show will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer from 7 pm to 10 pm GMT on Friday
