Shane will host BBC Two’s Children In Need appeal show from the Queen Vic, where he’ll be joined by Strictly Come Dancing contestant Peter and a few other famous faces on Friday, November 13.

He said: “It is such an honour to be back behind the bar at The Queen Vic once again hosting for Children In Need. We have some wonderful guests lined up this year with some great surprises and it is set to be a very special night.”

The line-up will be a 30-strong cast of the BBC One soap, who will do a Top Hat musical performance, which includes the likes of Bonnie Langford and Richard Blackwood.

Peter, who will be performing Frank Sinatra’s classic hit Come Fly With Me, said: “BBC Children in Need is a charity very close to my heart.

“I have seen first-hand how money raised makes a difference so am calling on people across the UK get fundraising to help make this appeal the best yet. And please don’t forget to tune in on Friday November 13, it is going to be a really great night.”

The BBC Children In Need appeal show airs on Friday November 13 on BBC One from 7.30pm, and on BBC Two from 10pm.
