Sir Terry Wogan has declared that he plans to carry on presenting the BBC's Children In Need "until hell freezes over".

The 71-year-old, who will be stepping down from his Radio 2 breakfast show next year, claimed that he has no desire to leave the annual programme.

"They're going to have to shoot me to get me off that," he told BBC News.

Last year, Wogan retired from another of his long-term commitments, quitting his role as commentator on the Eurovision Song Contest after three decades.

"I will be doing [Children In Need] until hell freezes over, or at least until the public get fed up of me," he added. "For me it's the most important thing I do all year. And for the BBC it's the most important thing they do all year because it's cohesive.

"It brings the whole BBC together, which is what the BBC was designed to be. It's such a worthwhile thing to do."
