PUDSEY Bear and Co will return once again for Children In Need as Sussex residents do their bit for the popular charity fundraiser.

Schools, community groups and businesses across the county will be holding a host of activities to raise money for the children’s charity.

Meanwhile the charity telethon, hosted by Graham Norton and Tess Daley, will air at 7.30pm on BBC One on Friday, November 15 2019, and continue right through until 2am on Saturday morning.

Alongside celebrity performances by Louis Thomlinson, Michael Ball, Alfie Boe and, later on in the evening, Westlife, the show will see special editions of a variety of weeknight staples.

There will be a Strictly Come Dancing/EastEnders Mash-up in which soap stars lace up their dancing shoes to compete for the Pudsey glitterball, a Dragons’ Den/ I’ll Get This cross-over which will pit the entrepreneurs against each other in a tense - but hilarious- battle of wits and a special edition of Graham Norton’s big Red Chair, in which the comedian and host will be joined by three young carers.

The show will also feature a special edition of the successful musical game show The Hit List, featuring, alongside other celebrities, artists like Wretch 32 and Anthony Costa.
