“Working on Children in Need is always a highlight of my year. The cause is such a worthy one, and unfortunately right now the number of children in need in the UK is growing. I’m really looking forward to doing what I can to raise spirits and lots of cash.”

BBC Radio Scotland will have full coverage of Children in Need starting from 6.10pm for a four-hour Children in Need special.

Highlights of Children in Need Rocks Scotland shall be broadcast on BBC One Scotland on Friday 19th November.
