Tuesday, 12th November 2019, 5:16 pm
As the nation gears up for another night of TV fundraising fun for Children In Need, one man is going to be gargling salt and practising his scales.
Radio 2 presenter and "karaoke king", Rylan Clark-Neal will be picking up a microphone and singing in a 24-hour non-stop karaoke extravaganza to raise money for the BBC's charity appeal.

But will he manage to warble for a full day or will his voice give up at some point?
Here's your need to know about his mammoth task ahead:
The challenge will kick off at the end of the Zoe Ball Breakfast show at 9am on Tuesday 12 November, with Rylan belting out karaoke classics through to 9am on Wednesday 13 November.
The marathon sing-a-long will take place at the Radio 2 studios in Wogan House, London, and be broadcast on BBC Radio 2 and BBC Sounds, and streamed live in vision on the BBC Red Button where viewers can watch Rylan and his special guests perform.
Throughout the day, the public can challenge Rylan to play The Wheel of Karaoke Fortune - a game in which the celebrity, joined for each round by a special guest from the world of music and showbiz, must perform any song, decided by the wheel, live on air.
Viewers will also be able to send in messages of support for Rylan, which will scroll across the screen, along with details of how to donate via text. Audiences will be able to support via text donation and through the BBC Children in Need website.
Rylan says: “My love of karaoke is absolutely no secret and so I’m incredibly excited to take to the microphone and raise as much as I possibly can for BBC Children in Need.
"Tune in to BBC Radio 2 or via BBC Red Button from 9am on the 12 November to hear me - and my special guests - serenade the Radio 2 family with as many karaoke classics as I can fit into 24 hours. And don't forget to donate!”
In March this year, Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman took on the longest ever Danceathon in Red Nose Day history in aid of Comic Relief.
In 2017 Sara Cox boogied for 24 hours in a 80’s Danceathon and Dermot O’Leary didn’t stop shaking it off in 2015 with his epic 24 hours of dance.
