Almost £40m was raised by the end of Friday night’s Children In Need 2026 live programme.
The money will help disadvantaged young people across the United Kingdom.
It includes more than £3.8m raised by BBC Radio 2 host Owain Wyn Evans, who completed his challenge of cycling through all four UK nations – riding almost 400 miles between Glasgow and Cardiff.
Elsewhere in the show, actors Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, and the stars of Dune: Part 3 pranked presenter Rylan Clark with the help of some hysterical youngsters.
The total is set to rise as more money comes in.
