What else can we expect from The Traitors skit?
Alison Steadman goes undercover as secret traitor FionaThe Traitors parody will see TV personality Vicky Pattison play joint winner Rachel, while DJ Scott Mills will appear as James.
Actress Amanda Redman will portray Amanda, Gavin and Stacey's Alison Steadman will be Fiona, while singer and radio host Fleur East plays Roxy.
Soap actor and Strictly contestant Lewis Cope will play Jack, while Paddington and Bridget Jones actress Jessica Hynes will star as Harriet.
Other real-life cast members appearing in the Comic Relief special include Ross Garshong, Jade Scott and Judy Wilson.
The sketch will revisit some of the best moments from series four, with comic and presenter Ruby Wax apparently in the director's chair (although director and producer Ed Bye - who is also married to Wax - is really steering the ship).
Scott Mills plays James, who made it to the final of series four but was scuppered by Rachel and StephenPattison said: "I have been a supporter and champion of Comic Relief for years, however this does feel a little bit outside of my usual wheelhouse.
"I am not an actor, I am not Northern Irish, I think I'd rather be back in the Arctic or trekking or something so I am very scared!"
Pattison completed an Arctic challenge for Comic Relief in 2024.
BBC Radio 2's Mills joked: "I am playing the role of James from The Traitors, and my fake earring is absolutely killing me, although I am getting quite used to these really big sideburns!"
Libby said: "I've got Iain Stirling playing myself, and he might be in a jumpsuit number as well – so I think he may currently be crying in a dressing room somewhere trying to squeeze into that.
"Every year I've always watched Comic Relief," she added, "so to be part of it is just really amazing."
What else is happening for Comic Relief?
Davina McCall will front the show and will be joined throughout the evening by a host of other presenters from the comedy world, including Katherine Ryan, Nick Mohammed, Joel Dommett, and Catherine Tate (as Nan from The Catherine Tate Show).
Motherland spin-off Amandaland gets the Comic Relief treatment in Amandas-land when the titular character (Lucy Punch) and her friend - and dogsbody - Anne (Philippa Dunne) are invited to BBC Broadcasting House for a live radio interview with Sara Cox.
A comedy of errors ensues as the pair encounter numerous other famous Amandas including Amanda Holden, Amanda Lamb and Amanda Barrie.
Other sketches include The Bank Job, featuring a cameo from Idris Elba as Luther and starring ITV This Morning presenters Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary.
Chris McCausland, Stephen Mulhern, Shona McGarty, Niko Omilana, Gladiator's Sabre and Natalie Cassidy also join the heist.

What is Red Nose Day and Comic Relief all about?
The very first Red Nose Day was in 1988 and raised £15m. Over 30 million people tuned in to watch Blackadder - the Cavalier Years, and the Young Ones on University Challenge.
The Comic Relief charity, set up in 1985, was the brainchild of filmmaker Richard Curtis and comedian Sir Lenny Henry.
There have been 21 telethons since then (sometimes it runs every two years rather than annually).
Comic Relief funds programmes both in the UK and around the world that tackle poverty and social injustice. It also supports those facing immediate hardship.
More than £1.6 billion has been raised since the charity began.
Many people take on their own fundraising challenges and usually, a celebrity will take on a gruelling one of their own.
This year, BBC Radio 1's Greg James is doing a 630-mile tandem bike ride challenge, which will finish in Edinburgh on Friday.
