BBC's Children in Need makes £36m

Last year's Children in Need appeal raised £19m on the night

Last year's Children in Need appeal raised a "record-breaking" £36m, Sir Terry Wogan has announced.

"It's the biggest ever amount of money you've given us," the BBC Radio 2 DJ said. "We're grateful and proud of what you've achieved."

Of that total, he told his listeners, £20m had already been allocated to groups helping disadvantaged children.

The Spice Girls, Kylie Minogue and Leona Lewis were among the stars to appear on November's broadcast.
