Bonnie Tyler, Only Men Aloud, Bryn Terfel and Stereophonics join forces to raise funds for BBC Children in Need at the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff.

Guests at the special concert on Friday include John Owen Jones, the singing Soldiers, plus Shaheen and Faryl Smith from Britain's Got Talent.

Some of BBC Wales's most popular presenters will strut their stuff for a Strictly Come Dancing-style contest.

Extracts will be shown during BBC TV's coverage of Children in Need night.

High Hopes actress Margaret John, classical girl group Bond, indie stars the Automatic and Jukebox Juniors from Butetown will also appear.

Besides the main fundraising theatre show, Josie D'Arby and Cerys Matthews will be joining Pudsey Bear for more Children in Need fun in the Wales Millennium Centre Glanfa foyer.

Tickets for the Glanfa event are free, but strictly limited. There will be two sessions, both of which will be broadcast on BBC One Wales during the evening.

Meanwhile Wales Today presenters Jamie Owen and Lucy Owen plus weatherman Derek Brockway will be taking their partners for a dance contest alongside BBC Radio Cymru morning presenters Eleri and Daf.

Jamie will be partnered by his BBC Radio Wales co-presenter Louise Elliott while Lucy will be in the capable hands of her husband, fellow X-Ray presenter Rhodri Owen.

Last year Jamie, Derek and Lucy were among the presenters who tried their luck as singers in a choir called Only News Aloud created for BBC Children in Need by Only Men Aloud's musical director Tim Rhys-Evans.

Children in Need is on BBC One Wales on Friday 20 November from 1900 GMT with coverage of the Cardiff concert and dance challenge at approximately 1945 and 2045 GMT
