Pictures: All the stars at Children in Need Rocks
- Published
Thursday night saw a galaxy of stars perform at Gary Barlow's extravaganza in Manchester, Children in Need Rocks. First on stage was Lady Gaga who didn't disappoint the crowd. She opened the show with her hit Born This Way.
The show saw some great duets! Jessie J joined James Morrison to wow the 14,000 crowd. "I bumped into Gary when I came off stage and said 'thank you for letting me be part of something so magical,'" Jessie said.
Before the show Leah got a hug from Dappy from N-Dubz! After the show bandmember Frazer said "N-Dubz are firm believers in giving back to our communities."
The show was live on BBC One and Radio 1, and was presented by Chris Moyles, former Doctor Who David Tennant, and Fearne Cotton. Here, David Tennant tries to distract Chris Moyles while he was presenting one of the acts!
Three of the X Factor judges were on stage on Thursday night. Tulisa peformed the official Children in Need song 'Teardrop' with The Collective - a group of artists who'd all come together to record the charity single.
And backstage they all got together for a few group photos! Members of the Collective included Wretch 32, Tulisa Contostavlos, Mz Bratt and Tinchy Stryder. We never thought we'd see Tinchy stroking a yellow teddy bear!
Another X Factor judge was Kelly Rowland who sparkled on stage. Afterwards she was full of enthusiasm for the huge charity event. "The energy was through the roof," she said.
Superstars JLS set pulses racing with Take A Chance On Me and She Makes Me Wanna. They did their bit to get viewers and listeners to donate money to the Children in Need charity, which helps disadvantaged children in the UK.
The event was organised by X Factor judge Gary Barlow. He was going to duet with Cheryl Cole but she pulled out because she was ill. Gary got the crowd to duet with him instead! "I Want You Back" echoed across the MEN Arena.
One of the biggest bands around, Coldplay were last up. Chris Martin started to sing a Take That song as a joke! The show ended on a massive high. And the Children in Need fundraising continues. Tell us what you've been doing!
