• 10 Memorable Moments from Sophie's Kitchen Disco Danceathon

During her 24 hour Kitchen Disco, Sophie was joined by a host of celebrity guests and Radio 2 presenters - both in person in the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Theatre and via videolink – to give her huge support and encouragement as she raised funds for Children in Need.

Sophie’s Kitchen Disco became a huge sensation throughout the lockdown of 2020, lifting people’s spirits as they joined her, dancing and singing in their own kitchens across the UK. Since May last year, multiplatinum selling Sophie has also been hosting Kitchen Disco mixes on Radio 2 and ´óÏó´«Ã½ Sounds.

You can find all the details of how to donate via text or online elsewhere on this page. Money raised will go towards supporting children and young people across the UK facing a range of disadvantages.

Also this year, all the music on Radio 2 between 7am and 5pm on Friday 19 November will be chosen by various ´óÏó´«Ã½ Children in Need projects from around the UK – a different project each hour. Later that day, the winner of the Sir Terry Wogan Fundraiser of the Year Award, as supported by Radio 2’s Michael Ball, will be announced on the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Children in Need Appeal show on ´óÏó´«Ã½ One.

Sophie’s challenge follows in the footsteps of 2020’s Joe Wicks 24 Hour PE Challenge which raised over £2.5 million for ´óÏó´«Ã½ Children In Need and Rylan’s Ka-Ry-Oke Challenge in 2019. Radio 2 also brought together some of the most iconic global artists for the official ´óÏó´«Ã½ Children in Need single last year, a reimagined cover of Oasis’ Stop Crying Your Heart Out (´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio 2 Allstars).
