The BBC Children in Need appeal total has passed the £20 million mark after a galaxy of stars turned out for the television extravaganza.

The £20,309,747 haul at the end of the telethon was just short of the amount raised at the same stage last year.

Featuring performances from Peter Andre, Stereophonics and Alison Moyet as well as a troupe of newsreaders performing a Beyonce routine, host Terry Wogan described the night as "fantastic".
