Scott Mills has raised £1,000,365 in a gruelling treadmill challenge for Children In Need.

The Radio 2 DJ walked, jogged and ran for 24 hours - even recreating his infamous Strictly Come Dancing “crab dance”.

He wiped away tears as donations reached £500,000 around 07:30 BST on Thursday morning, saying: "Just think how many people that’s going to help".

The total doubled in the next two hours, leaving Mills "in shock".

"I'm in shellshock right now," he said. "I can't get my head around it.

"I didn't expect it to be this much money because of how things are at the moment," he added, referring to the cost of living crisis.

"For that money, I would do it all over again. You are amazing."

Earlier, Mills told BBC Breakfast he was “in a world of pain” after walking through the night.

But he was helped across the finish line by his mum, Sandra, who called in to Zoe Ball’s Breakfast show with words of encouragement.

"It’s hard because you really feel for him," she told Ball, "but I knew he’d do it. He’s got such determination."
