The show will be hosted by Lenny Henry, Jonathan Ross, Sally Phillips, Rob Beckett, Romesh Ranganathan, Warwick Davis and Miranda Hart. Viewers can also expect to see performances from French and Saunders, Reeves and Mortimer, Matt Berry and Catherine Tate.
Johnny Vegas and Joe Lycett will take over several duties at a local pizzeria, and James Corden will present an exclusive Car Pool Karaoke from LA with the members of Take That. There are also exclusives from Mrs Brown, Alan Partridge, Peter Kay and David Walliams.
There will be live music by Ed Sheeran, Rag N Bone Man and Emeli Sande, along with reports from a variety of celebrities on the work being carried out to aid disadvantaged people across the UK and Africa.
Sheeran also went on a trip to Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, to meet children who had been orphaned by the Ebola outbreak and were living on the streets.
We should expect great things as this is a great cause!
