London
(ANI):
BBC
presenters
Fiona
Bruce
and
Sophie
Raworth
are
all
set
to
perform
an
ABBA
song
and
dance
routine
for
Children
in
Need.
The
two
ladies
will
be
wearing
flared
cat
suits
to
recreate
a
scene
from
Mamma
Mia!
the
hit
musical
and
movie
starring
Meryl
Streep,
Julie
Walters
and
Pierce
Brosnan.
"I
went
to
see
the
film
with
my
seven-year-old
daughter
Mia
and
we
absolutely
loved
it," the
Telegraph
quoted
Bruce
as
saying.
"For
our
television
tribute,
I'm
probably
playing
the
Meryl
Streep
role.
We
will
also
have
three
senior
newsmen
taking
part
and
some
dancers
from
the
West
End
show.
We
didn't
set
out
to
look
like
the
two
Abba
women
but
I
am
flattered
that
anyone
would
think
I
resembled
Frida.
I
was
a
great
Abba
fan
and
she
was
my
favourite,"
she
added.
Kate
Silverton
another
BBC
presenter
was
supposed
to
join
them,
but
was
forced
to
pull
out
when
she
suffered
a
slipped
disc
during
rehearsals,
and
BBC
organizers
are
now
trying
to
find
a
replacement.
"I
am
certainly
no
dancing
queen.
Thankfully
we
have
very
simple
steps
to
do
but
there's
still
a
danger
one
of
us
could
stumble
and
fall
of
these
skyscraper
platforms,"
Raworth
added.
Children
in
Need
began
life
as
a
radio
item
on
Christmas
Day
1927
when
listeners
raised
1,143
pounds,
and
last
year's
televised
event
raised
37
million
pounds.
