How much money was raised for Sport Relief 2020?
Sport Relief 2020 was a huge success.
In total, the event raised £40,540,355 by the end of its live TV show - which will all be donated to wonderful causes.
The money raised will help tackle issues including mental health, homelessness and child poverty around the world.
Gary Lineker, one of the hosts, also announced that some of the money would go to those affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
When was Sport Relief 2020?
Sport Relief 2020 began on Monday 9, 2020 and continued until Friday 13, 2020.
The event was run by charity Comic Relief and worked with a number of charities in the UK and worldwide to raise money for different causes.
This year's events saw some famous faces take on some tough physical and mental challenges.
The live Sport Relief show was broadcast at 7pm on Friday, March 13 on BBC One.
Coverage of the celeb sporting challenges, such as The Celebrity Boat Race and The Heat is On, were shown alongside funny sketches from the likes of Line of Duty and a parody of Killing Eve.
A team of brave celebs trekked and cycled across the Namib desert in Namibia.
The challenge - moved from Mongolia because of concerns about coronavirus - was the subject of a special one hour documentary, The Heat is On: Sports Relief, broadcast earlier this week.
Other pre-recorded segments included a celebrity boat race that saw teams from the BBC, ITV Channel 4 and Sky take to the waters of Salford Quays.
