Tim Vine and Kiri Pritchard McLean in Comic Relief shepherding challenge

Tim Vine and Kiri Pritchard-McLean are to showcase their skills with a sheepdog for Comic Relief.

The comics are taking part in a version of Countryfile’s One Man And His Dog in the Welsh countryside.

Their efforts at shepherding will be screened in a one-off special earmarked for March 13, with the winner revealed on BBC One on Red Nose Day  itself, March 18.

David Tennant, Paddy McGuinness, Sir Lenny Henry and Zoe Ball will be hosting the telethon.

Other special BBC projects to mark the fundraiser include The One Show’s Red Nose and Spoon Race, a celebrity edition of make-up artist show Glow Up, and stars reading CBeebies’s Bedtime Stories – although casting for all these are yet to be revealed.

Meanwhile, Darren Harriott has been named as one of the celebrities taking part in E4's reality show The Real Dirty Dancing, to be hosted by Ashley Roberts and Keith Lemon.
