Former Great British Bake Off presenters Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc have shared a first photo of themselves as they prepare to host a special competition show for next month’s Comic Relief.

The picture shows them pretending to perform a noisy sing-off as they model the new range of traditional red noses in the lead-up to Let’s Sing And Dance For Comic Relief.

A selection of comedians and familiar TV faces have also been revealed as guest judges, including Julian Clary, Miranda Hart, Rufus Hound, Tameka Empson, Russell Kane and Adil Ray as Citizen Khan.

They will be joining the panel alongside Jo Brand, Jason Manford, Paul O’Grady, Frank Skinner, Jennifer Saunders and Claudia Winkleman.

The programme will see a line-up of stars dressing up to re-enact their favourite musical moments.

But this year they will face the double challenge of both singing and dancing as the show steps up a level from Let’s Dance For Comic Relief.
