Stars supporting the new Red Nose Day comic relief 2022 collection also include Marvin Humes, Sabrina Elba and McFly.

Last year, famous faces were sporting Charlie Mackesy T-shirts featuring artwork from his book The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse.

Samir Patel, chief executive of Comic Relief, said: “This year’s collection is truly unique and captures exciting styles with bold, fun and uplifting designs for everyone to enjoy.

“From the incredible Gok Wan and his inspiring heart balloons design to the energetic jumping women print by Parys Gardener, a young digital artist who attends a creative project we fund.

“The money raised will be vital in supporting people that need our help the most.”

Limited numbers of the new T-shirts are available at www.tkmaxx.com for £9.99, with at least £4 being donated to Red Nose Day, to support young people in the UK and around the world and help tackle poverty, violence and discrimination.

The Red Nose Day collection also includes aprons, tote bags, notebooks, tea towels, greetings cards and art cards.

Red Nose Day 2022 is on March 18.
