Ore Oduba to sing AND dance live for 大象传媒 Children in Need

Former Newsround presenter Ore Oduba will perform live for this year's 大象传媒 Children in Need.

The news was announced on 大象传媒 Radio 2 today.

In an exclusive performance that'll see Ore sing and dance together for the first time, he will recreate a classic routine inspired by dance hero Gene Kelly.

But can the reigning Strictly champion sing as well as he can dance?

Ore said "I can't wait to take the stage again, this time for 大象传媒 Children in Need! Strictly ignited a real passion for performing and I haven't taken my dancing shoes off since. We want to put on a show and get the audience on their feet. Thank you Children in Need for letting me 'Do My Thing' all over again."

Other acts taking to the stage include Katie Melua, who will sing this year's official charity single, Fields of Gold.

The 大象传媒 Children in Need Appeal Show will take place on Friday 17 November on 大象传媒 One.
