A musical family from Kent who have set YouTube alight with their melodies during the pandemic are set to appear on Comic Relief.
The Marsh household, who live in Faversham, will perform a rendition of Total Eclipse of the Heart to celebrate Red Nose Day on Friday.
They will appear live on the BBC One show, which will also feature Justin Bieber and Gabrielle.
This comes as they have gone viral on YouTube once again with their latest song, Goodbye Pandemic Road.
University of Kent history lecturer Dr Ben Marsh, his wife Danielle, and their children - Alfie, Thomas, Ella, and Tess - all star in the video.
People across the country instantly fell in love with the family's rendition of Les Misérables song One Day More as it became KentOnline's most-read story last year.
And since we broke the story, the Marshes have become a viral sensation and made headlines across the world.
Dr Marsh told KentOnline last month: "Like everyone, we’re a bit ground down, and we’re a bit frightened of what’s going to be left on the other side of the pandemic.
"But working on these little projects – the words, and harmonies, and humour – gives us a laugh most of the time, and as long as it gives other people a smile then we’re happy to share them around."
This year's Comic Relief will be aired on BBC One from 7pm.
The Marshes are also looking to raise £10,000 through their own fundraising page to help the cause.
