One Direction Will Help Host BBC's Annual Children in Need Charity Event

 

The boys of One Direction are in the giving spirit this week. Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, and Niall Horan will be hosting a segment of tomorrow's annual BBC Children in Need charity event. The event will help raise money for disadvantaged youth in the United Kingdom.

Along with hosting a portion of the televised event, One Direction will also be performing their smash hit "Best Song Ever" for the first time on British TV. The boyband helped to design a personalized Pudsey teddy bear that will be auctioned off to raise money for the charity.

 Liam made fans aware of the charity by sending out the following tweet, "Check out our 1D Pudsey for @BBCCiN that was inspired by our incredible fans. Auctions live now, get bidding at http://bbc.co.uk/pudsey #CiN."

The boys also did an interview with Mirror saying, "We are often asked what the driving force behind us is and the answer is always the same-our fans. Our fans are the ones who got us where we are today and who inspire everything we do, including bear designs! So, meet One Directioner Pudsey. Please do dig deep and bid on our bear, it really will go on to make a difference."

Last year the charity event raised $25 million, hopefully this year's charity will follow suit. Stay tuned for more news and updates.
