The Born to Shine TV series has raised over £1.778 million for Save the Children's charity work with the help of UK aid and the generous British public. The money raised throughout the series will help save thousands of children's lives around the world by treating and preventing childhood diseases.

The final show of the fundraising programme - which aired on ITV1 in the UK on Sunday 21 August - was backed by the Government's new UK Aid Match scheme, which doubled the money pledged to Save the Children's work overseas.
