Return to Paradise fans will have to wait for their next trip to Dolphin Cove as the Death in Paradise spin-off has been pulled from the schedule.

Return to Paradise fans hoping for another mystery in Dolphin Cove tonight will find the BBC's annual Children in Need fundraiser on screen instead. The Death in Paradise spin-off usually airs at 8pm, but its slot is being taken over by the charity broadcast, which runs from 7pm until 10pm.

For tonight, the murder mysteries make way for a live show hosted by Mel Giedroyc, Sara Cox, Alex Jones, Rylan and Tyler West from MediaCityUK in Salford.

Children in Need promises celebrity appearances, performances, exclusive sketches and surprises, alongside Pudsey Bear. The Children in Need choir will also sing a medley to help raise money for the charity.

Among those taking part is Owain Wyn Evans, following his 400-mile cycling challenge across the UK's four nations. His route began in Scotland and finished in Cardiff.

Morning Live presenters Gethin Jones and Michelle Ackerley have also joined the fundraising effort, learning instruments and forming a band in just a matter of weeks.

After they performed on today's Morning Live, Tom Grennan surprised the pair with the news that they would also be playing live on Children in Need tonight.

Gethin was moved to tears when Gaby Roslin, who was hosting alongside Gordon Smart, revealed the fundraising total.

She announced: "We can now reveal that the amount raised so far from Pudsey's Build-a-Band Challenge and The One Show's Challenge Squad is…
