Lenny Henry reveals he feels emotional ahead of hosting his final Red Nose Day: 'It's a good time to part ways'
The comedian and actor, 65, co-founded Comic Relief in 1985 alongside Love Actually screenwriter Richard Curtis and will continue to serve as life president.
There will also be tributes to Sir Lenny from singer Jerub, while the cast of spoof comedy series W1A - including Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville and Spaced actress Jessica Hynes - will reunite on the night to search for a new host. This year's edition also sees Hollywood actors including Julia Roberts, Olivia Colman, Hugh Grant and Liam Neeson make a special appearance to argue among each other to be named the most famous in a comedy sketch for the fundraising programme. Kate Winslet, Jamie Dornan and Catherine Tate will also provide entertainment on the night while pop rock band McFly will open the show with a medley of some of the most-loved Comic Relief singles from the last few years.
