Take That come face to face with their comedy doubles in a special sketch to be screened during tonight’s Comic Relief TV extravaganza.<\/p>\n

Spoof band Fake That consists of David Walliams, John Bishop, Catherine Tate, James Corden and Alan Carr.<\/p>\n

The wannabes will audition in front of the real Take That in a bid to get donations rolling in on Red Nose Day.<\/p>\n

The BBC One show will also feature special episodes of EastEnders, Doctor Who and Outnumbered.<\/p>\n

David Walliams has already completed the 24-hour Panel People marathon in aid of Comic Relief, which saw him take part in back-to-back celebrity panel shows. <\/p>\n

He has now been transformed into Fake That’s Howard Donald. <\/p>\n

“Being in a boy band for the day was really tiring,” said Walliams. “We had to do all the dance moves. But when Take That did it they were like 22 – I’m 39, and I just thought ‘I can’t handle this’.”<\/p>\n

Tonight’s programme is the culmination of weeks of fundraising events with stars raising money for projects across the UK and in developing countries. <\/p>\n

The Comic Relief telethon in 2009 raised \u00a382.3m for the charity’s work at home in the UK and abroad.<\/p>\n

James Corden will also revive his Gavin and Stacey character Smithy, who will this year be hanging out with Sir Paul McCartney.<\/p>\n

Other highlights include a special version of Masterchef featuring Ruby Wax, Claudia Winkleman and Miranda Hart, and a spoof of ITV’s hit period drama Downton Abbey.<\/p>\n

Comic Relief – Funny for Money is live on BBC One from 7pm.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
