Red Nose Day sketch

Rachel Parris and Russell Kane star as Strictly Come Dancing newcomers Melissa and Johnny in this new Comic Relief mockumentary sketch.

Also featuring Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman and narrated by Miranda Hart, the skit imagines   new inclusivity rules, which require a certain percentage of professionals to be amateurs.

Parris said: 'Strictly Come Dancing and Red Nose Day are two cultural icons, so Russell and I knew that we had to bring our most iconic dance moves to the table. I think you will agree that they will go down in history, one way or another.'

 Kane added: 'After physio, red light therapy, sports massage, heat rub, and an acupuncture mat session - I’m really looking forward to my spine taking part in Strictly for Red Nose Day.'
