Beckett said: “I am so excited to be presenting BBC Children In Need this year.
“It’s a British institution and a wonderful charity so to be asked to help out is a huge honour.
“My parents are gonna be bursting with pride. I also get to meet Pudsey! I can’t wait!”
Norton, who has hosted the event for the past two years, said: “I love presenting the live show of BBC Children In Need and I look forward to welcoming Rob Beckett to the team in what will be a night full of celebrating some of most brave and inspirational children.”
The live telethon will feature an all-star line-up including performances and pre-recorded comedy sketches to help raise money for disadvantaged children and young people across the UK.
The appeal show will air on November 16 on BBC One.
