Timothée Chalamet joins Children In Need stars for a prank on Rylan Clark

Timothée Chalamet is among the stars taking part in this year’s BBC Children In Need broadcast, with one segment set to turn an interview into a playful surprise for presenter Rylan Clark. Chalamet and his Dune: Part Three co-stars Zendaya, Jason Momoa and Anya Taylor-Joy will appear in a filmed interview with Rylan. Three children will be hidden behind the scenes to help the actors prank him, according to the programme details. The show is scheduled to air on Friday, with the live broadcast beginning at 19:00 GMT. The three-hour event will be presented from Salford by Alex Jones, Mel Giedroyc, Rylan, Sara Cox and Tyler West. It will also feature Radio 2 presenter Owain Wyn Evans, who is completing a 400-mile cycling challenge across Scotland, Northern Ireland, England and Wales. Harri, 22, who is living with lasting effects of a brain tumour, is due to join him for the final stretch in Wales. Other young people taking on charity challenges include Zoe, 16, who has Down’s syndrome and has prepared for a dance with help from Strictly professional Amy Dowden; Ana, 16, who is undertaking a three-day kayaking challenge; and Serena, 22, who will perform in memory of her late brother and a childhood friend. The programme also includes a performance by Morning Live presenters Michelle Ackerley and Gethin Jones, who have been learning instruments, while Joe Wicks and Emma Bunton are among the other stars involved. Last year’s appeal raised more than £45 million, and Children In Need says it supports over 1,600 local charities and projects across the UK.
