Comic Relief had barely even kicked off tonight when their first mishap of the evening occurred.

An amazing bounty of TV beauties will guide viewers through the big night, with hosts including David Tennant, Davina McCall, Fern Britton, Claudia Winkleman, Jonathan Ross, Alan Carr and Graham Norton.
