Alison Steadman's Gavin & Stacey quiz raises £40,000

An online quiz hosted by Gavin & Stacey star Alison Steadman raises more than £40,000 for cancer charity Marie Curie.

Alison Steadman's online Gavin & Stacey quiz night has raised more than £40,000 for the cancer charity Marie Curie.

Almost 20,000 people tuned in to watch the 73-year-old - a.k.a. Pam Shipman - ask questions about the hit comedy.

The event, which also featured a guest appearance from Steadman's on-screen son Mat Horne (Gavin), is part of a series of quizzes hosted by celebrities in aid of the charity.

Learning the total that she had raised, an emotional Steadman said: "That's such an immense sum, that will make such a difference. That's wonderful - my heartfelt thanks."

Details of how to donate can be found on the Marie Curie UK quiz page.
