It's one of - if not the - largest fundraising event of the year and as per usual, a whole host of stars have done their bit for this year's mammoth BBC charity event.
Fearne is not only one of the presenters this evening, but she also made sure to strike a pose on the CiN red carpet at the start of the star-studded bash.
She looked stunning as ever in a gold, long-sleeved dress, which she teamed with a pair of metallic strappy heels.
Ellie Goulding - who kick started tonight's extravaganza with a performance of Army - also walked the red carpet, wearing a stunning white lacy blouse and a pair of black leather trousers.

Nick Grimshaw also joined them, before his presenting duties got underway, with him looking dapper as ever in a maroon coloured suit jacket and a pair of black skinny trousers.
Tonight's telethon includes a Call The Midwife special of Strictly Come Dancing with former host Bruce Forsyth back at the reigns, as well as a Star Wars special featuring Lord Alan Sugar and Lewis Hamilton.
Jess Glynne will also perform the charity's official single; her new ballad Take Me Home.

It was revealed yesterday that Sir Terry Wogan would be missing Children in Need for the first time in its 15-year history, with Dermot O'Leary being unveiled as his replacement.
The former X Factor host has been drafted in to replace the veteran broadcaster at the last minute, after a back injury left the 77-year-old unable to participate.
“We are pleased to announce that fellow Irishman and Radio 2 presenter Dermot O'Leary will be stepping into Sir Terry Wogan's shoes for tonight's Children in Need from 7.30 to 10pm, hosting alongside Tess Daly and Fearne Cotton," a BBC spokesperson said.
