MariLou said: “Taking part in Red Nose Day has been a huge amount of fun and everyone at the home has been behind us all the way. It’s for such an important cause. I’m very glad to be able to do my bit to raise further awareness and money for the charity.”

Comic Relief spends the money raised by Red Nose Day to help people living tough lives across the UK and internationally.

Since its launch in 1988, Red Nose Day has become a British institution, with people across the country getting together to raise money at home, school and work, accompanied by a night of entertainment on BBC TV.
