Last year’s event raised a staggering £42,790,147 for charity and organizers hope to surpass that figure in 2023.
Where can you buy a red nose?
This year you can buy a Red Nose from the Comic Relief website or from Amazon – the new home of the Red Nose.
This year’s Nose was designed by Sir Jony Ive, who has designed some of Apple’s most coveted products.
Composed almost entirely of plant-based materials, it begins as a tiny crescent moon before bursting into a sphere upon opening.
Speaking of its design, Sir Jony said: “We grew up with Comic Relief and are proud to support their remarkable work.
“This new and seemingly simple Red Nose was a fabulously complex little object to design and manufacture, involving our entire team. We hope it brings a little moment of joy to whoever wears it.”
Red Nose Day 2023 will be broadcast on ` One on Friday 17 March.
