For Sport Relief I auctioned myself for marriage for about £2,000 - it didn’t go well, there were no takers!
What is your favourite Comic Relief memory either from a past fundraising event that you’ve done or a memorable moment from watching night of TV?
I’ve always loved Miranda Richardson’s Jane Austen sketch, it was a really long time ago but she was so brilliantly dead-pan, it was really, really funny.
For Sport Relief I auctioned myself for marriage for about £2,000 - it didn’t go well, there were no takers! But then I did attend a Comic Relief wedding one year, there were two people who got married for Comic Relief, I don’t know if they’re still together.
What are you most looking forward to?
I’m looking forward to Love Actually, it’s pretty amazing that those people have all become gigantic stars. I’m quite looking forward to Joe Lycett and Johnny Vegas’s Pizza restaurant too.
The show is going to have a comedy club vibe, so there’s a danger there might be an anarchic feel to things, is that a good thing or a bad thing?
I’ve never done any presenting before - I’m going to be a car crash! Haha!
Have you got any kind of pre-show routines that you will be using on the night to help with those nerves?
I think I run around in terror!
