Money raised will be split equally between the two charities to provide support to local projects and programmes across the UK during the coronavirus pandemic.

Countryfile star Baker said: “At a time when, in my generation, the UK has never felt more together, we’re inviting everyone to share a Big Night In.

“As a board member of BBC Children in Need for many years the very purpose of what we do is to be there for those who need us the most.

“Through the power of TV together with Comic Relief we’ll support, give thanks and acknowledge how we’re making the best of the situation we find ourselves in.

“It’s my honour to host The Big Night In.”
