Mel and Sue to host fundraiser

Mel and Sue are to compere the annual Children In Need comedy gig in London next month.

The duo cancelled their autumn tour last month after 33-year-old Mel Giedroyc became pregnant.

But they will be hosting the BBC London benefit at the Shepherds Bush Empire on November 13.

The star line-up also includes Jo Brand, Simon Day, Al Murray and this year's Perrier winner Garth Marenghi.

Ross Noble, Count Arthur Strong and Omid Djalili are also on the bill.

Tickets, priced £10, are available from the venue on 020 7 771 2000.
