Curtis praises public for £42m Red Nose Day
Comic Relief co-founder Richard Curtis has praised people for their “extraordinary” generosity after the charity’s Red Nose Day celebrations raised more than £42million.
Tom Holland, Courteney Cox and Lulu were among the special guests to feature during the night of comedy, dance and music on BBC One.
Appearing on BBC Breakfast yesterday, screenwriter Curtis thanked those who had donated to the charity, which he founded in 1985 with Sir Lenny Henry.
He said: “The highlights are all the comedy, but people are still being generous and enjoying the show.”
