Rylan raises £845,000 with 24-hour Children In Need karaoke feat
Rylan Clark-Neal has now raised More Than £1 million for Children In Need by singing non-stop karaoke for 24 hours.
The presenter belted out 231 songs, assisted by More Than 90 celebrity guests, including Rick Astley , Nicole Scherzinger and Craig David .
He ate spoonfuls of honey every hour to keep his vocal cords coated - along with the occasional Pudsey donut.
"I Am in such a state," Clark-Neal told Radio 2 's Zoe Ball as he approached the end of The Challenge on Wednesday.
"It doesn't feel real. None of it feels real. "
The crooning marathon was broadcast Live on BBC Radio 2 and the BBC Red Button . In The Last half hour of his challenge The Star raised More Than £200,000 - with the tally reaching £845,239 by the time he finished at 09:15 GMT.
"That's unbelievable, Thank You so much," said The Star .
Donations continued to flood in after Rylan took a well-deserved rest, taking the tally past the £1 million mark by Thursday morning.
"That Sore Throat today is totally Worth It , @Rylan!" tweeted Radio 2 . "We are so incredibly proud to announce that we've hit ONE MILLION POUNDS (£1,027,776 to be precise! )"
The Final grand total will be revealed during Friday Night 's Children In Need broadcast on Bbc One .
Rylan's challenge saw him duet with Dermot O'Leary on You Don't Bring Me Flowers, rap with Trevor Nelson and Dj Spoony on a version of Rapper's Delight, and dance with Strictly contestants Saffron Barker and Aj Pritchard .
Rylan said he was inspired to keep singing by the memories of a recent visit to a Children In Need-funded youth Club .
Rylan was joined by Denise Van Outen and Kimberley Walsh during his 24-hour challengeThe Star met the disadvantaged children helped by the Southend Association of Voluntary Services (Turning Tides) project in Essex - playing Hungry Hippos and taking part in arts and crafts lessons.
"It was amazing and, do you know what, I didn't actually think about this when I signed up to do this," said the Strictly: It Takes Two presenter.
"I didn't really think that I would need that, but actually visiting The Project and meeting all The Kids and volunteers and speaking to them and understanding how much this money impacts their lives, when I Am sort of dying at four o'clock in The Morning trying to garble together a song I know what I'm doing it for now. "
His final song was Tina Turner 's The Best - for which he was joined by M People star Heather Small .
As it ended, the 31-year-old sank to The Floor in relief and Zoe Ball played him The Bells of St Margaret's Church in his hometown of Stanford-le-Hope, Essex , which were ringing in his honour.
Rylan's charity feat came eight months after Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman danced non-stop for 25 Hours on Radio 2 in aid of Comic Relief .
In 2017, Sara Cox also boogied for 24 hours in an 80's Danceathon, while Dermot O'Leary kicked off the challenges in 2015 with another 24 hours of dance - Live on The Plaza outside BBC New Broadcasting House .
