Danny Dyer and Mary Berry join Comic Relief line-up in The Traitors parody

Danny Dyer and Dame Mary Berry are set to appear in a parody of The Traitors during Friday night’s Comic Relief show.

The BBC has confirmed the two stars will appear on the annual fundraising show, which will be hosted by AJ Odudu, David Tennant, Joel Dommett, Paddy McGuinness and Zoe Ball.

The Traitors sketch will see Jennifer Saunders, Stephen Merchant, Rosie Jones and contestants Maddy and Wilf from series one of the show take part.

In a twist, the show’s host Claudia Winkleman will be played by Dawn French before the true traitor is revealed to viewers.

The BBC also confirmed Kylie Minogue will appear in a sketch with the cast of BBC sitcom Ghosts.

The pop superstar and her live agent, played by Tanya Moodie, arrive at haunted Button House to see if it is a suitable concert venue, shocking the supernatural inhabitants.

It was previously announced that Sir Tony Robinson will return as the character of Baldrick to read a bedtime story and Dermot O’Leary will team up with Jamie Demetriou’s Stath Charalambos from Stath Lets Flats for a sketch.

Alongside various sketches, pop vocalists Tom Grennan and Zara Larsson will also deliver musical performances of their new singles during the broadcast from Salford.

Grennan will sing his single You Are Not Alone, while Swedish singer Larsson will be performing her new track Can’t Tame Her.

The cast of Mrs Doubtfire The Musical will also deliver their first UK performance of Make Me A Woman from the new stage show.

It comes as Danny recently revealed his new TV venture, after leaving his role as Mick Carter on EastEnders.

The actor admitted he wanted to start making more documentaries, with his latest one set to air later this year.

Danny will travel across the UK to explore toxic masculinity, asking the question as to why so many young men are struggling with their mental health and relationship.

He will also set out to uncover whether men have lost their identity, as traditional gender roles become consigned to the past.
