Dermot O'Leary and Fearne Cotton will take part in a one-off episode of 'Million Pound Drop' for charity.

The 'X Factor' presenter and the Radio 1 DJ will join host Davina McCall on the Channel 4 show on Friday February 3, where they will attempt to raise money for organisation CoppaFeel! - which aims to eradicate the late detection and misdiagnosis of breast cancer by encouraging regular checks and by raising awareness of symptoms.

Just eight questions will stand between the celebrity duo and the £1 million prize, with whatever they win being donated to the charity.

Ulster-born siblings Martin and Louise O'Kane were the first winners of the new series on Saturday (14.01.12) when they walked away with £125,000 in prize money, even though they were forced to wait 24 hours from Friday's show (13.01.12) to complete the live game.

Martin said: "It was such a tense moment and I think that both of us were just running on adrenaline and instinct at that stage.

"When we realised we had won, it was a terrific feeling - that amount of money was beyond our wildest dreams.

"I think the break between Friday and Saturday's show helped us in a way - we back came on Saturday without all the nerves and knew what to expect."
