Scarlett Moffatt and Rosie Jones will take part in this year’s comic opera for Red Nose Day.
Alongside Moffatt and Jones will be actors Helen George, Tamzin Outhwaite and Nina Wadia.
Jones said, “It’s a huge honor to be a part of Comic Opera for Comic Relief.
“I’m terrified, I’m already struggling to speak, let alone sing opera.
“I love to sing, and I always sing 80s bangers in the shower, so that’s probably how it is…with a few more clothes.
“I hope we can have a lot of fun and raise a lot of money for Comic Relief at the same time.”
