Red Nose Day 2023: David Tennant, Ghosts, The Traitors & Lots More!
From David Tennant, Paddy McGuinness, Zoe Ball, Joel Dommett & AJ Odudu to Ghosts, The Traitors & more, here's the Red Nose Day 2023 line-up.
On Friday, March 17th, Red Nose Day is not only back, but it's coming to you live from its home at Media City UK, Salford beginning at 7 pm UK time (2 pm U.S. East Coast Time) with David Tennant, Paddy McGuinness, Zoe Ball, Joel Dommett, and AJ Odudu in the studio to host the event. Over the course of three hours, viewers will be treated to hilarious sketches, live performances, amazing musical acts – and maybe even a surprise or two. And the best part? All of the fundraising during the event will find its way to those who need it most, both within the U.K. and abroad. Now, we have a rundown of the TV sketches set for that evening, including drop-ins from Ghosts, The Traitors, and more – take a look:
"The Traitors": In a special parody of the hit psychological gameshow, The Traitors, a star-studded roundtable gathers to decide who should be banished. Claudia Winkleman (played by Dawn French) assembles the celebrity 'Faithful' and 'Traitors' for a discussion full of twists and turns. Which famous faces will be under the cloaks, and who will be revealed as the ultimate Traitor?
"Ghosts": Hit BBC sitcom Ghosts is back with a "spook-tacular" special for Red Nose Day, and they have a surprise guest… none other than global superstar Kylie Minogue! When Kylie and her manager (played by Tanya Moodie) arrive at Button House to see if it's a suitable concert venue, the ghosts get the shock of their (after) lives.
"Love Island": TONIGHT on Love Island, Comic Relief turns up the heat and the laughs by sending an unexpected BOMBSHELL into the villa. Expect Maya Jama slow-mos, sarcastic quips from Iain Stirling, and a romantic trip to the hideaway.
"Eurovision – The Audition Tapes": In this special sketch, the UK may have found its Eurovision entrant for this year, but before the big night, our panel (Graham Norton, Lulu, and Sam Ryder) will have to sit through aspiring celebrity auditions… of varying quality.
"Baldrick's Bedtime Story for Comic Relief": We'll see the exclusive return of one of the nation's most beloved comedy characters – Baldrick – as he reads his very own 'Blackadder' Bedtime Story.
