Holly Willoughby joined a slew of stars showing their support for Comic Relief in a fun Instagram snap on Friday.

The presenter, 43, donned a red nose while her dog Bailey sported a matching bandana ahead of the star-studded annual telethon.

Holly, who recently signed a deal with Netflix to front a big-money reality show, showed off the merchandise, which is available on Amazon, and captioned the post: ‘Me and Bailey are Red nose and Dog bandanna READY! Are you? @comicrelief tonight @bbc.’

It comes after it was revealed that Holly has sensationally signed to Netflix to host a celebrity jungle-based reality show named Bear Hunt.

The presenter, who quit ITV’s This Morning last October, will appear on the show alongside star survival expert, Bear Grylls.

Described by television insiders a more challenging version of the BBC’s Survivor, celebrity contestants will be pitted against Grylls. It will be filmed in the South American jungle.

It is Holly’s first show away from terrestrial television.

A show insider told MailOnline: ‘It’s a great and such an exciting fresh series and of course a great challenge for Holly. It’s a great opportunity for her.’

The show, which is produced by Grylls’ company, will see him pursue celebrity contestants and when he catches them, they will be eliminated.

Friday’s Comic Relief will be hosted by Sir Lenny Henry, the final time he’s set to front the programme after almost four decades at the helm.

The comedian and actor co-founded Comic Relief in 1985 alongside Love Actually screenwriter Richard Curtis and will continue to serve as life president.

Maya Jama and Alex Scott will both serve as hosts along with David Tennant, Romesh Ranganathan, Joel Dommett, Davina McCall, Paddy McGuinness, and Rosie Ramsey.

Sir Lenny said: ‘The money that people have sent in repeatedly, every single time, has helped over 100 million people.

‘That’s a lot of people and there aren’t many organisations that can say that.’

He added: ‘If you’ve helped to do that, thank you and it’s not about numbers any more.

‘It’s about what you feel you can give because we know that there’s a struggle going on at the moment. People are having hard times.

Money raised by Red Nose Day goes towards organisations helping to tackle homelessness, poverty and mental health along with other causes in the UK and throughout the world.

There will also be tributes to Sir Lenny from singer Jerub, while the cast of spoof comedy series W1A – including Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville and Spaced actress Jessica Hynes – will reunite on the night to search for a new host.

This year’s edition also sees Hollywood actors including Julia Roberts, Olivia Colman, Hugh Grant and Liam Neeson make a special appearance to argue among each other to be named the most famous in a comedy sketch for the fundraising programme.

Kate Winslet, Jamie Dornan and Catherine Tate will also provide entertainment on the night while pop rock band McFly will open the show with a medley of some of the most-loved Comic Relief singles from the last few years.

Titanic star Winslet will treat viewers to a late-night CBeebies Bedtime Story catered to parents as she reads F***, Now There Are Two Of You by Adam Mansbach.

Actor Jack Black will also issue a musical call to action and singer Paloma Faith will perform her new single, Enjoy Yourself (The Red Nose Day Edition) while Doctor Who star Tate will be among the stars in a spin-off of the BBC’s hit reality game show The Traitors, entitled The Traitors: The Movie.
