Vernon reveals who'll be following in his footsteps and taking on Radio 2's Children In Need Challenge for 2024.

Plus singer-songwriter Leo Sayer shares his favourite songs all this week on Tracks Of My Years.

Leo started out as a songwriter, composing hits for Roger Daltrey and Cliff Richard. His first solo album 'Silverbird' was released in 1973 and, along with the single 'The Show Must Go On', shot to No. 2 on the UK charts.

'You Make Me Feel Like Dancing' earned Leo a Grammy Award for Best Rhythm & Blues Song in 1977 and the single 'When I Need You' gave him his first UK number one. Leo returned to the top of the charts in 2006 when Meck remixed Leo's 1977 hit 'Thunder In My Heart'.

Leo is on tour around the UK in September and October, and has a new album, '1992' on the way.
