Chalamet and young challengers feature in Children in Need broadcast

BBC Children in Need’s annual fundraising broadcast will feature Timothée Chalamet and his *Dune: Part Three* co-stars, alongside a 400-mile cycle challenge and personal missions undertaken by young people. The three-hour show is due to air on BBC One and iPlayer from 19:00 GMT on Friday, 13 November.

Chalamet, Zendaya, Jason Momoa and Anya Taylor-Joy appear in an interview with presenter Rylan Clark, where three children help prank him. The live programme, hosted from Salford by Clark, Alex Jones, Mel Giedroyc, Sara Cox and Tyler West, will also welcome Radio 2 presenter Owain Wyn Evans after his cycling challenge across Scotland, Northern Ireland, England and Wales.

Wyn Evans will be joined for the final leg in Wales by Harri, 22, who is living with lasting effects of a brain tumour. He is one of four young people taking part in The One Show’s “challenge squad”. The others are Zoe, 16, who will dance with the cast of *High School Musical*; Ana, 16, who is taking on a three-day kayaking challenge; and Serena, 22, who will perform in memory of her late brother and a childhood friend.

The BBC says Children in Need supports more than 1,600 local charities and projects across the UK. Last year’s appeal raised more than £45m. This year’s theme is “Challenge Yourself 2026”; other contributions include a live musical performance by *Morning Live* presenters Michelle Ackerley and Gethin Jones.
