Queen of daytime TV Lorraine Kelly and Still Game legend Sanjeev Kohli are gearing up to host the annual STV Children's Appeal this evening - and the night will feature a host of celebrities.
The pair will tell the stories of fundraisers across Scotland who have generously collected cash to help kids who are most in need. The programme will also include a special performance by Nina Nesbitt.
Line of Duty's Martin Compston will take viewers on a visit of the Street Soccer club in his hometown of Greenock, describing football as the "common language" to unite people from all backgrounds.
The First Minister describes Scotland as a country of "social solidarity" and pledges future support for the Appeal from the Scottish Government. Nicola Sturgeon will also tell the show that "every pound donated is more special, as it’s so much harder to come by" referencing the cost-of-living crisis.
Lorraine Kelly, trustee of the STV Children’s Appeal said: "I can confidently say that this year’s STV Children’s Appeal show is like no other.
"I had the best time hosting the show alongside Sanjeev in Dundee, a city that is close to my heart; you can expect to feel inspired, learn more about some wonderful charities and watch some heart-warming exchanges. You may even witness some top-class football skills on full display.
"Sanjeev and I loved learning about all the fantastic fundraising and meeting so many special folk on the show. Remember, viewers can donate all day on the 4th of November, so you can still help us make a difference. Tune in for all the action!"
This year's STV Children's Appeal will be broadcast from an indoor football centre in Dundee.
Sanjeev Kohli, added: "It’s always a delight working with Lorraine Kelly on the STV Children’s Appeal show. I’m confident that the generous people of Scotland will donate what they can on the 4 th , so that we can help children and young people living in poverty across Scotland gain access to the support of charities that can often be a lifeline for them."
