The BBC says we should "expect all the drama, sibling showdowns, and unexpected celebrity cameos, wrapped up in a heavy dose of Britpop nostalgia, iconic '90s music moments, and cheeky humour".
Buckley said in a statement: "I had such a fun time with Joe, making this sketch for Comic Relief, and was honoured to be asked to be a part of it. And, of course, being a huge Oasis fan, getting to be Liam for the day was a dream come true."
Meanwhile, Thomas added: "I grew up watching Comic Relief and the big sketch was always a highlight of the night. So it’s both thrilling and nerve-wracking to be a part of it."
