Actor Anthony Head, currently starring in Merlin on Â鶹Éç One on Saturday nights, will join Â鶹Éç Points West presenter Alex Lovell in presenting Â鶹Éç West's Children in Need night of live broadcasts on Friday 20 November.
The live broadcasts will form part of the national Children in Need programme on Â鶹Éç One.
Anthony, who lives near Bath, said: "When I was first approached to appear on Children in Need my first instinct was to say no as the thought of live television terrifies me.
"But how could I not take part when countless people across the United Kingdom are raising money doing extraordinary things for such a worthwhile cause?
"I am honoured to have been invited and am looking forward to working with the lovely Alex Lovell as I have always had a great time when she has interviewed me on her Â鶹Éç Radio Bristol and Â鶹Éç Somerset weekend show."
Children in Need West and Points West Editor Stephanie Marshall said: "It's fantastic news that Anthony has agreed to join us and to co-present with Alex this year's Children in Need for our region.
"We can promise visitors to Â鶹Éç Bristol and viewers at home a night of fun and fundraising, an insight into where last year's money went and, as always, a few surprises."
