The band have strong ties with the charity and previously released two singles, ‘Never Had A Dream Come True’ and ‘Have You Ever’, to raise cash for the fund.
S Club 7 have shared their excitement ahead of the performance, which will see them perform a medley of their greatest hits.
“We’re massive fans of BBC Children in Need and it was great to be able to support the charity all those years ago,” they state. “We’re really looking forward to bringing it all back for Pudsey, for BBC Children In Need and for all our fans who have been so great over the years.
“This is going to be the mega S Club party of all time!”
Sadly, there are no plans for tour at present, though sources have hinted that one could be on the cards.
The annual Children In Need telethon is set to take place next month and so far, the BBC are yet to confirm what fans can expect on the night.
In the years following S Club 7’s 2003 split, the singers took very different paths, before Jo O’Meara, Bradley McIntosh and Paul Cattermole staged a mini-reunion, DJing as ‘S Club’.
Take a look at what they’ve all been up to below...
