The aim of the event was to raise as much money as possible from the public by asking viewers to donate during the live broadcast on BBC.

Mark Nardin from D&G said: “Sport Relief is one of the best examples of a charity inspiring people to take action. We have worked with the organisation for a long time, which is really down to the enthusiasm and commitment our employees have shown for the initiative. I am hugely proud that they are so engaged and willing to give over their free time.”

In total, £38,195,278 was raised by Sports Relief on Friday night.
