Lenny Henry #LennyHenry

Sir Lenny Henry transformed into Barbie’s Ken as part of his last stint presenting Comic Relief.

The comedian wore a blonde wig and a fur coat to perform ‘I’m Just Ken’ in a pre-recorded music video.

Later in the programme he said it had been an “honour and a joy” to be the face of Comic Relief.

He said: “It is not about me – it is about the mirth and the money, the comedy and compassion.”

Henry founded the charity behind the annual comedy broadcast with filmmaker Richard Curtis in 1985.
