TV chefs and best mates Gordon Ramsay and Gino D’Acampo will come face to face on the latter’s new game show, Bank Balance.
Gordon will host a jam packed, hour-long celebrity version of his new BBC One quiz show Bank Balance to help raise important funds on Red Nose Day.
One big name to join in the fun includes Gino who will try to answer the quiz questions thrown his way alongside his son Luciano.
The father and son duo will attempt to raise as much money as possible for Comic Relief.
Gordon’s Bank Balance, focuses on winning gold bars to take home money where contestants play in pairs and place different sized gold bars on a balancing board by answering questions.
They’ll get a chance to pick the categories for which they answer questions on.
The more bars they can successfully balance, the more chance they have of taking a big sum home – but the more bars added to the board, the more unstable it becomes.
The jam packed Comic Relief which will this year be hosted by Davina McCall, Sir Lenny Henry, Paddy McGuiness, Alesha Dixon and David Tennant will also see Dawn French don her clerical collar again.
Comic Relief will air in the evening of Red Nose Day (19 March) and will see some of the nation’s favourite faces come together for a very special night of comedy, entertainment and music.
The Red Nose Day night of TV will feature hilarious sketches, live performances and one-off comedy specials whilst showcasing the incredible impact donations have in the UK and across the world.
“This year Red Nose Day will be a bit different,” promises Sir Lenny.
“We all need cheering up, and of course we want to raise as much money as possible for people who really need it in the UK and around the world, but we also want to make you smile and bring you some laughter on 19 March!”
Red Nose Day donations will help tackle important issues including homelessness, hunger, domestic abuse, and mental health problems, all of which have been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic, in the UK and around the world.
Money raised will support some of the most vulnerable people and communities in society who have been hardest hit by the coronavirus crisis, including those now reliant on food banks, and provide vital funding to under resourced front line charities.
Other highlights for the hotly anticipated event include Keira Knightley, Michael Sheen and KSI starring in 2020: The Movie which after a year like no other, which will turn movie stars into unlikely everyday British heroes.
Normal People and Fleabag will join forces to create the mashup you never knew you needed and Dawn French’s Vicar of Dibley will lip sync to Lizzo’s Juice.
