Friday’s BBC Children in Need night has raised just over £35 million so far – £4 million down on last year’s £39 million total.
Celebrity fundraising included Joe Wicks raising over £500,000 by walking an ultramarathon, and DJ Scott Mills raising £1mn with his treadmill challenge.
It’s been a truly SPOTacular night
