Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins have signed up for their first show since quitting The Great British Bake Off.

 

They have been announced as hosts of a new Saturday night BBC One show, Let's Sing and Dance For Comic Relief.

 

Let's Sing and Dance for Comic Relief, described as "a singing and dancing extravaganza", will be on BBC One next year ahead of Red Nose Day 2017.

 

Perkins said she was "thrilled" to be co-presenting the show, "not least because it will finally show the world why I was voted West Penwith's Krumping Champion (over 40s category)."

 

Giedroyc issued her own statement, which said: "Since leaving the Royal Ballet twelve years ago, Mel is really looking forward to getting back on her points and showing the brave Comic Relief celebrity dancers how to split leap and ball change.

 

"She's delighted to be taking time out from her busy schedule at the Royal Opera House (she was recently called 'a complete and utter Tosca' in the starring role of the eponymous opera) to take part in co-hosting duties for Let's Sing and Dance For Comic Relief."

 

et's Dance for Comic Relief has been a hit TV show with fans in the past. The BBC is hoping the new format including singing will become an international format, like other shows such as Strictly Come Dancing.
