Last year, the channel did a live telethon and raised around £800,000, which was then split between five charities.

The Blue Cross is 'excited' to see how much will be raised this year.

Emma Sword, media officer at Blue Cross, said: “We are so excited to have been chosen as one of the charities, as so many pets come to us needing our help.”
