TV presenter Dermot O’Leary is currently in the city of Kisumu, Kenya filming for Comic Relief.

Two days ago, the X Factor star was sleeping rough with three homeless boys when a car almost careered into them.

Tweets sent from the official Red Nose Account said Dermot and his three companions were shaken up after the incident and had a “lucky escape”.

Incidents like this show the real danger posed to Fred, Maurice, Hannington and all children sleeping rough.

Red Nose Day takes place this Friday 13th March and it hopes to “bring about positive and lasting change in the lives of poor and disadvantaged people”.
