High street store TK Maxx are selling Comic Relief t-shirts and sweatshirts in different designs to mark 20 years of the store's partnership with the charity. Featuring collaborations with Aardman Animation, Disney, Peter Black, Mr Men and Little Miss, Charlie Mackesy, Rachel Roy and Rankin, the designs include a red nose-wearing Shaun the Sheep, complete with white fluffy boucle pocket, Toy Story's Jessie, Rankin's Eleanor Cat design, and red nose Mickey and Minnie Mouse t-shirts, too.
It's also worth checking out the official Comic Relief store. On sale are the iconic red noses for £2.50 and there are also selection boxes of 30 red noses for schools for £60, as well as the TK Maxx t-shirts, bags, fundraising packs, Bluey party packs and virtual gifts.
Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, Joel Dommett, Alison Hammond, Rylan Clark and Alesha Dixon will present the live Red Nose Day this Friday on BBC One from 7pm to 10pm, before Tom Allen and AJ Odudu take over from 10pm on BBC Two.
Highlights of the night will include Oasis: The Reunion: The Movie, in which Inbetweeners stars James Buckley and Joe Thomas reunite to play Gallagher brothers Liam and Noel in a parody charting their journey from Manchester lads to global rock superstars. They are joined by a cast that includes Martin Lewis, Vernon Kay, Tasha Ghouri, Melvin Odoom and Roisin Conaty in the spoof biopic.
There is also a comedy crossover, Not Going Beyond Paradise, in which the two worlds of Beyond Paradise and Not Going Out merge, thanks to Sally Bretton who appears as both Lee's wife Lucy in Not Going Out and Humphrey's wife Martha in the detective series.
Kris Marshall and Lee Mack are also on hand, along with Zahra Ahmadi and a few other well known faces from both shows.
Meanwhile, presenter Jamie Laing began an ultra marathon 150 mile challenge on Monday, aiming to run from the BBC offices in London to Salford in Manchester by Red Nose Day on Friday, completing five ultra marathons.
By Wednesday he had already raised £100,000 and was heading to Loughborough, while on Thursday he'll run through Kegworth and on Friday finish up in Salford.
