Love Actually stars Liam Neeson, Hugh Grant and Colin Firth will join former cast members for a special sequel in aid of Comic Relief.

Red Nose Day Actually will revisit those from the hit 2003 romantic comedy and reveal what has happened to the characters 14 years on. 

An all-star cast including Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, Liam Neeson, Keira Knightley, Andrew Lincoln, Martine McCutcheon, Bill Nighy and Rowan Atkinson will step back into their roles for the charity sketch.

Richard Curtis, who will return as the writer and director for the skit, commented: "I would never have dreamt of writing a sequel to Love Actually, but I thought it might be fun to do 10 minutes to see what everyone is now up to."

"Who has aged best? - I guess that’s the big question… or is it so obviously Liam?"

He continued: "We hope to make something that’ll be fun - very much in the spirit of the original film and of Red Nose Day - and which we hope will help bring lots of viewers and cash to the Red Nose Day shows."

Red Nose Day Actually will air as part of the live Red Nose Day 2017 show on Friday 24 March on BBC One.
