What is the theme of Red Nose Day 2023?
The slogan of Red Nose Day is "Do something funny for money".
Although the theme doesn't change, Comic Relief often launches new red noses - and 2023 is no different.
The new appendage starts out as a flat crescent and opens up to make a honeycomb round red nose.
The Comic Relief website states that this "proves that the littlest of things can make a huge difference".
