BBC Breakfast's Owain Wyn Evans in tears as he raises £1.8m in epic 24 hour challenge

Nina revealed to Owain that he had raised £1617.046 so far and has continued to climb since he ended his drumathon.

Owain was left in shock as the amount appeared on screen, as he exclaimed: “NO! I can’t believe that, thank you so much to everybody who has put your hands in your pockets and donated.

“Children In Need helps causes that are really close to my heart and will actually be close to the hearts of all of us, I think.

Speaking on what his plans were for the rest of the day, Owain revealed: “Well, I only had three hours sleep before the drumathon.

“So, I’m going to need to get a bit of rest, I’m going to celebrate a bit, and then I’m going to probably need a bit more rest.”

The BBC Children in Need Appeal show airs on November 19th on BBC One.

BBC Breakfast airs every day from 6am on BBC One.
