There will be rounds for all ages and abilities, plus plenty of laughs, and viewers are invited to get involved via the live chat during the broadcast.

The money raised will help the hospital, which has doubled its intensive care capacity during the coronavirus crisis as it treats young people travelling from across the UK, continue its good work.

More than 400 supporters tuned in for the first quiz, featuring questions from, among others, BBC Breakfast presenter Dan Walker and Olympic gold-medallist Jessica Ennis-Hill, which raised over £3,000.
