Matt Baker and Davina McCall announced among Big Night In presenting line-up

Country File's Matt Baker and Long Lost Family's Davina McCall have been unveiled as part of the presenting team for the BBC's Big Night In.

The three-hour special is being broadcast to cheer up the nation while it's in lockdown.

Sir Lenny Henry had already announced that he would be joined by Peter Kay for the show, as well as singer Gary Barlow and comedian Catherine Tate.

Alongside Baker and McCall virtually presenting will be Top Gear's Paddy McGuinness and Strictly's It Takes Two host Zoe Ball.

While the show will be raising money, Henry said on The One Show last week it was focused on making the viewers laugh.

All funds raised will be split between the organisers, Children in Need and Comic Relief, and will go to local charities.

The special will air on BBC One on April 23.
