A BBC News team came a close second with a Sound of Music number, and another ITV News team came third with a rendition of 'You Can Leave Your Hat On'. An audience of TV newsroom staff and celebs were treated to the sight of some of the country's most famous TV presenters as never seen before - including Mark Austin on drums, Kate Silverton in pigtails and even Jon Snow in a sparkling silver jacket and wig.

All profits from the evening are going to Leonard Cheshire Disability and Helen & Douglas House. The running order for the evening and details on most of the performances is below. The evening was organised by TV news producer Erin O'Toole and people within ITN.

A spokesperson for Leonard Cheshire Disability, said: "Thank you to everyone involved - the money raised will be used to enable disabled people to improve their quality of life and live life their way. It was fantastic to have well-loved newsreaders, presenters and their teams taking to the stage to support our work. We'd like to say a particular thank you to our ambassador, Katie Derham, and her team at ITN for organising such a fantastic event."

A spokesperson for Helen & Douglas House, said: "Thank you to News Producer Erin O'Toole, everyone at ITN and all the competing News Teams for such a fabulous and surreal evening! Laughter really is the best medicine and when combined with fundraising it can't fail! It costs £4.5 million a year to run Helen & Douglas House per year so not only do we appreciate the money raised last night, but the profile and ripple effect of the event are invaluable too."
