With just one more night to go before Pudsey Bear returns to charm the nation and raise essential funds, the BBC has confirmed that girlband Remember Monday will be performing during this year's Children In Need broadcast.

On Friday evening, the trio, who represented the United Kingdom at Eurovision earlier this year, will perform a special cover of Lou Reed's Perfect Day, accompanied by the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. The performance will feature testimony from young people whose lives have been transformed by BBC Children In Need, highlighting the charity's enduring impact.

Originally released by Lou Reed and later reimagined in 1997 as a star-studded charity single featuring David Bowie, Bono and Gabrielle, the song raised over £2million and topped the charts. Remember Monday, consisting of Charlotte, Holly and Lauren, bring their close-knit friendship and seamless harmonies to this new rendition, promising a moving and memorable performance.

The band said, "All three of us grew up watching Children in Need every year – it's such a special event. We can't believe we're getting to be a part of it! Performing with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra is truly a bucket list moment for us, and we feel incredibly lucky to get to sing such an iconic song for such an amazing cause."

Viewers can catch Remember Monday and the Perfect Day performance on BBC One and BBC iPlayer at 7pm on Friday, as part of the Perfect Night of TV.
