Gethin Jones weeps on live TV as he raises more than £900,000 for Comic Relief. Gethin Jones wept during a live segment on ITV’s Good Morning Britain today (17 March) as he neared the end of a 24-hour dancing challenge for Red Nose Day.
Ahead of Friday’s live show, numerous celebrities started fundraising, with television presenter Gethin Jones raising nearly £1.2m by dancing non-stop for 24 hours.
At the end of the 24 hours, it was revealed on the show that Jones had raised more than £900,000. At one point during the challenge, he was shown crying with joy at how much he had raised.
