Comic Relief's 2023 grand total revealedBBC

Comic Relief has revealed the amount of money that Red Nose Day 2023 has raised following its telethon on BBC One.

At the time of writing, the charity has raised £31,952,141. This number will only increase as people continue to make donations, which can be done here.

The number is down compared to last year's, which revealed a £42,790,147 total at the end of the telethon. That's quite a drop, which could be down to people not having as much money to spend due to the Cost of Living Crisis.

Last night's telethon featured a host of live performances, as well as sketches starring many household names.

The Red Nose Day 2023 telethon is available to watch in full on BBC iPlayer now, and you can watch some of the sketches and live performances on the official Comic Relief YouTube channel.
