Weather presenter Derek Brockway, who previously raised money for Children in Need in a special episode of Weatherman Walking, emphasized the importance of the charity's work and its positive impact on children and young people.
Ian 'H' Watkins, known as a member of the music group Steps, expressed his delight at being part of the fundraising activities in his hometown.
Children in Need is renowned for its annual appeal night, first broadcast in November 1980, and it has raised over £1 billion to support disadvantaged children and young people since its inception.
This year's appeal show is hosted by Ade Adepitan, Mel Giedroyc, Alex Scott, Chris Ramsey, Jason Manford, and Lenny Rush. The show will feature an exclusive Doctor Who scene produced by Russell T Davies as a lead-up to the series' 60th-anniversary specials.
