Children In Need 2021 kicked off the 41st year of its annual fundraising event with a vibrant performance from Ed Sheeran. The chart-topping singer, who was forced to self-isolate last month, took to the stage with his latest hit single Overpass Graffiti.
Anne-Marie and Niall Horan also performed live on the BBC show which was hosted by a string of famous faces including Graham Norton, Mel Giedroyc, Alex Scott, Chris Ramsey and Ade Adepitan.
It was broadcast from Salford, Greater Manchester, for the first time with the theme ‘Together We Can. ’Children charity’s mascot Pudsey was then seen arriving at the studio in James Bond style as he pulled up in a speedboat to the 007 theme tune.
