Kay "proud" of Children In Need song

Peter Kay has said that he is "proud" of his Children In Need single.

Kay teamed up with over 100 animated characters for the song, which was performed for the first time on Children In Need last night.

The comedian voices his alter ego, Big Chris from Roary The Racing Car, and is joined by other children's television legends including Bagpuss, Postman Pat and Fireman Sam.

The single itself is a medley of songs including 'Never Forget', 'Hey Jude' and 'Jai Ho'.

"Children, parents, grandparents - in fact, everybody is going to enjoy this," Kay said. "I can't believe it's come together and I'm incredibly proud of all the work and time everybody has given to the project."

Meanwhile, CEO of Children In Need David Ramsden said: "We are delighted that Peter Kay has assembled such an extraordinary lineup for this year's official BBC Children In Need single. We have no doubt it will capture the public's imagination and raise lots of money to help change children's lives."

All the contributors to the single have waived their fee, while the music publishers and songwriters have waived their royalties.
