Costumes, props and memorabilia from Strictly Come Dancing, EastEnders and Bluey are among the items being sold in a Children In Need charity sale. The collection, which spans BBC television, sport, music and entertainment, includes a RuPaul's Drag Race UK crew jacket and a stunt Vortex Indicator prop that appeared on-screen in Doctor Who.
A Piece of Entertainment History
The sale forms part of Children In Need's upcoming All Star Wardrobe initiative, giving fans the chance to own items from British entertainment while supporting young people across the UK. Children In Need has partnered with Vinted for the event, with the collection available to browse on the online marketplace from Thursday.
Highlights include the Santa costume worn by actress Lucy Punch as Amanda Hughes in the Amandaland Christmas special, which is set to air on December 25. A "lines open" sign from Strictly, signed by judges Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse, Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke, is also up for grabs, along with signatures from professional dancers and hosts Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radebe.
Doctor Who and Bluey Memorabilia
EastEnders is offering a signed Albert Square street sign, while Bluey is providing an original storyboard from its 2023 episode titled Cricket. Doctor Who fans can bid on a double bass guitar played by the goblin band in the 2023 Christmas special The Church On Ruby Road, as well as a stunt Vortex Indicator prop introduced in the 2025 series.
Other items include a Eurovision Song Contest hat and scarf, and a Pudsey Bear signed by presenters of the BBC's Children In Need 2026 appeal show, including Tyler West, Alex Jones, Rylan Clark, Sara Cox and Mel Giedroyc. A bright yellow shirt with a corn pattern, worn by children's character Dodge T Dog on CBeebies show Dodge's Pup School, is also available.

Fundraising Boost
Adam Jay, chief executive of Vinted marketplace, said: "We know our members care about making a positive difference, so we're proud to partner with BBC Children In Need and bring the Vinted community together to raise money for young people across the UK." He added that all money raised, including platform fees, will go directly to BBC Children In Need, with Vinted doubling the amount raised.
TV presenter Jones described the collection as "full of incredible treasures from some of the UK's best-loved shows," adding: "It's a fantastic chance to own a little piece of TV history while helping change young lives for the better."
