The actor's joining the current star of the spy films Daniel Craig, in a "special one-off sketch" to be broadcast as part of Red Nose Day on March 13.

Taking to his Twitter page to reveal the news, Roger said: "I'll tell you a secret ... Daniel Craig is not the only 007 in the Comic Relief sketch. #Backasbond (sic)."

He confessed this after it was reported Craig will feature in the night of fund-raising, as part of Comic Relief's first charity show to be broadcast live from the London Palladium.

Moore revealed in February he'd be taking part in this year's fundraising but only just confirmed it would be his most famous role he revisits.

On Twitter last month, he wrote: "I'm filming next Wednesday. #ComicRelief (sic)".

He later added: "Lovely time filming for #ComicRelief Will be part of Red Nose Day on BBC."

It's the second time Craig's appeared in a skit for the charity, previously starring alongside Catherine Tate in 2009.

Other sketches for the show include one from Mr Bean - his first in eight years - one from Dawn French in The Vicar of Dibley and highlights from Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights live shows.
