You can join a 'big fat virtual quiz' being live streamed across UK next month

A "big fat virtual quiz" is set to be streamed across the UK to raise money for charity during the coronavirus outbreak.

You can get competitive from the comfort of your own home as the quiz gets underway on Saturday 11 April, running from 7-10pm.

It is the perfect quiz for TV buffs, with questions on hit shows like Game of Thrones and Peaky Blinders, and all you need is a phone to tablet or laptop to take part.

There will even be prizes, although these are yet to be revealed - we're thinking a crate of toilet paper and hand sanitzer.

Organisers hope to bring the entertainment to you as the country is on lockdown, all in the name of a good cause.

The quiz costs £8.00 to take part and tickets can be bought here - money raised will go towards charities around the UK.

A description for the event reads: "You better sharpen your (virtual) pencils because on Saturday 11th April, true fans of TV bringing can come together for a quiz right from the comfort of your own sofa.

"Are there prizes? Don't you worry! We've got some awesome (and not-so-awesome) PRIZES to be won throughout the night so don't you fear!  The event will be live streamed and you can take part with your phone, tablet or even a laptop, but please note it's only one device per team."
