Giovanna Fletcher and Emma Willis are hosting a fundraiser in support of charities during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The pair made the announcement on Twitter, sharing a video in which they explained how the fundraiser works and who will benefit from the donations.
Called Be My Guest, the fundraiser will raise money for four charities – Mind UK, The Trussell Trust, Refuge and NHS Charities Together – all of which are offering support for those during the coronavirus outbreak.
Those wishing to donate can do so by purchasing £5 entries, wherein they’ll be entered to win a video chat with celebrities, such as Olly Murs, Melanie C of the Spice Girls and Paloma Faith, amongst others. There is no limit to the amount of entries a person can buy.

Writing on the fundraiser’s official website, the pair said:
“Since ‘lockdown’ began we’ve been feeling increasingly frustrated. Not because we can’t go out (to meet up for cake), see our families (for more cake), or have suddenly found ourselves knee deep in home schooling (we’d rather be eating cake), but simply because we’ve been clueless on what we can do to help those outside of our homes.
“Those whose lives will be changed forever as a result of this crisis – either because they’ve been seeing the unthinkable while risking their own lives on the front line, or because they’ve been pushed into poverty, unemployment or are in a vulnerable position at home.
“Whilst we’ve each donated money to various charities, praised key workers, clapped every Thursday night and stayed connected to people who might be feeling isolated and cut off, it still didn’t seem enough and that’s how Be My Guest was born.”
