More than £2.3m has been raised in Wales for Children in Need, taking the UK total to £47.9m.

James Bird, the charity's officer for Wales, praised all who held events, from cake sales to a sponsored bounce by a day care group in Pembrokeshire.

Children in Need is the 91Èȱ¬'s charity and raises money for disadvantaged young people around the country.

The telethon featured stars, including EastEnders actors dancing with Strictly Come Dancing professionals.

Wales raised £2.45m last year.
