Watch: Children in Need fundraisers in the south

People across the south of England have been raising money for Children in Need.

The BBC charity helps improve the lives of disadvantaged children and young people around the UK.

Earlier, BBC Radio 2 presenter Vernon Kay has completed his ultra-marathon, having raised £4.1m.

Bafta-winning actor Lenny Rush, 14, will be joined by Ade Adepitan, Mel Giedroyc, Jason Manford, Chris Ramsey and Alex Scott for the three-hour live show on Friday.

The televised appeal starts at 19:00 GMT on BBC One.
