The former TV Burp host replaces pop hunk Morten Harket in the BBC Children In Need spoof and has roped in X Factor mentor Sinitta as the love interest.

Also in the revamp of the famous video, originally largely animated and made to look like a line-drawn comic about a racing bike champion, are guest spots for Sophie Raworth, Nick Hewer and Richard Madeley.

Hill – soon to star in his own movie – devised the sketch which will be screened during the Children In Need appeal show on November 15.

Hairy Biker Dave Myers, who is currently starring in Strictly Come Dancing, and his sidekick Simon King will recreate the roles of the motorcycle thugs who end up fighting with Hill over the giant banger.

Hill said: “Pudsey called me and told me his favourite 80s pop video was A-ha’s Take On Me. Suddenly an idea popped into my head – let’s recreate it.”

Sinitta said: “His crazy artistic madness is just my thing and I am dying to work with him again.”

Other stars in the video include Tom Ellis, Warwick Davies and Amanda Lamb.
