Children in Need has raised a spectacular total of more than £38 million with its glittering 2026 broadcast.
The annual charity event brought together a team of presenters including Alex Jones, Mel Giedroyc, Rylan, Sara Cox and Tyler West for three hours of performances and surprise appearances in a bid to raise money to support children and young people across the UK.
And raise money they did! By the end of the night, it was confirmed that £38,720,170 had been raised - and, with people still being able to donate, that figure is likely set to rise.
The live broadcast showcased stars including the cast of Dune Part 3 - Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Jason Momoa and Anya Taylor-Joy - who took part in a prank interview with Rylan.
Meanwhile, the presenters also took to the dance floor with the pros from Strictly Come Dancing.
There were also performances from Texas, the BBC Children in Need Choir and a band that featured presenters from BBC Morning Live.
But perhaps the real star of the show was the BBC's own Owain Wyn Evans, who raised an incredible £4,760,086 as the result of his four nations 400-mile cycle challenge.
Speaking at the end of the night, Rylan said: "Thank you to everyone at home who has donated and got behind Children In Need this year. This is down to you. Thank you so so much."
