The UK's biggest night of comedy is back for 2024, but viewers have been quick to complain about the same thing.

Red Nose Day is here, with comedians present to make us all laugh and raise as much money for charity as they can.

This year, British marathon running legend Mo Farah has managed to make a hilarious appearance:

It's a big deal, with the siblings from the hit TV sitcom Outnumbered even reuniting in aid of the big day.

2023's Comic Relief managed to raise over £35 million, with money going to help causes related to homelessness, mental health problems and food poverty across the country and 2024's iteration aiming to go even higher.

The show has even featured Hollywood star Kate Winslet reading a story called F***, Now There Are Two Of You, penned by Adam Mansbach. Lovely.

Broadcast on BBC One, the likes of Olivia Colman, Liam Neeson and Julia Roberts are also set to make an appearance of tonight's show, with fans as excited as ever.

However, it looks like several viewers have been making the same complaint about this year's version of the show, taking to X, formerly Twitter to air their grievances.

Viewers of Comic Relief are all saying the same thing about the hosts.

One user posted: "Do they really need six presenters to read the autocue?"

Another shared: "Why are there so many presenters for Comic Relief?????"

A horrified third posted: "WHY are there SIX PRESENTERS?" followed by a skull emoji.

This year, the show is being hosted by an array of talent, with Lenny Henry joined by Joel Dommett, Davina McCall, Paddy McGuinness, Romesh Ranganathan and David Tennant, with Maya Jama and Rosie Ramsey making their first Comic Relief appearances.

That is a total of eight, but it looks like just the six presented the opening segment.

There is also set to be a comedy sketch to do with hit BBC hit show The Traitors, featuring the likes of Suranne Jones, David Walliams, Catherine Tate and more.

British boy band McFly are even making an appearance on Comic Relief.

British boy band McFly are also set to have a set on the show, playing their biggest hits to the country.

Darts' teenage wonderkid Luke Littler is also set to make an appearance too as the latest stop on his tour since showing the world that he's not bad for a 17-year-old at the sport.

Many have also taken to social media to reminisce on the great Comic Relief sketches, which feature a lot of Smithy and a lot of Doctor Who jokes.
