Pauline's Evening | Part 3 | Comic DubMollie King took to Instagram to reveal the total amount she has raised from her 500km Red Nose Day charity bike ride in memory of her late father Stephen.

The BBC Radio 1 presenter, 36, rode from London to her father's home city of Hull to honour him after he died from a brain tumour in November 2022.

Mollie shared photos of her five-day journey with her cycling partner Scot Tares and revealed the total amount she had raised was £1,312,558.

She captioned the images: 'Today was the day we rounded off my Pedal Power for @comic relief challenge and the day we got our final total. 

'I was absolutely blown away by how much we raised by the end of my cycle but I had been told people had kindly continued to donate last week, too.

Mollie shared photos of her five-day journey with her cycling partner Scot Tares and revealed the total amount she had raised was £1,312,558 

'I can't quite believe what I'm about to say but your donations meant that we raised an absolutely mind blowing £1,312,558. 

'No words will ever do justice to how grateful I am to every single one of you who donated. I've seen first hand what a difference this money is going to make and how it's going to change lives. 

She finished: 'Thank you thank you thank you [photo] credit Dominic Lipinski/Getty Images.'

The former The Saturdays singer heard the figure for the first time from her colleagues on BBC Radio 1 on Monday. 

The final reveal comes after she found out she had raised an incredible £1,155,535, also on BBC Radio 1, earlier in the month.

She said at the time: 'It is crazy I can't believe it. I think it is going to take time to sink in because of the pace of everything this week its hard to properly comprehend what has happened. 

'I just keep thinking back to everyone who took time out of their day to wave and stand in the street and and in their shop doors its hard to get my head around. Its mad.'

She continued: 'I trained for 6 weeks for the challenge and couldn't tell anyone about it because we hadn't announced it and so it felt like a solo challenge and to see everyone over the week and see everyone showing their support and for dooujin all your messages, thank you.

Mollie appeared on BBC's Comic Relief in a stunning red dress following her gruelling challenge

'I just wanted to say a massive thank you again its going to take a few days or weeks to sink in but I will never ever, ever, ever forget it so thank you.'

She captioned the selfie: 'Waking up this morning knowing we've raised over ONE MILLION POUNDS for @comicrelief…it's actually sinking in!'

Mollie appeared on BBC's Comic Relief in a stunning red dress following her gruelling challenge. 

An emotional Mollie had received a hero's welcome from her fiancé Stuart Broad and their 16-month old daughter Annabella as she finished her marathon.

Having broken down in tears as she prepared to finish the ride in her late father's hometown of Hull, Mollie was overwhelmed as crowds cheered her over the finish line.

She said: 'Oh my goodness, thank you everyone for coming down.

'I am completely overwhelmed... I can't believe we have raised £1million. It was time for me to think about my dad and to know he was doing the journey with me.'

With just hours to go until the end of the challenge and as she approached the final destination of Hull - her late father's hometown - Mollie became overcome with emotion. 

Sitting in the back of a car, Mollie sobbed: 'It's the first time in ages I've really felt proud of myself and I'm quite tough on myself generally but this is so beyond what I'm capable of physically.

'I'm not a strong person but to have got to day five, I was thinking, "Mol, you should be proud of yourself here." This is mad.'

Mollie lost her beloved father Stephen just days after she welcomed her baby daughter Annabella with retired cricketer Stuart.

His death came as a huge shock as he had been fit and healthy prior to his diagnosis and had even completed the London Marathon.

Mollie's supportive fiancé Stuart paid tribute to the former singer on Wednesday with a message ostensibly from Annabella

Stuart took to Instagram to acknowledge Mollie's remarkable achievement. 

The former Nottinghamshire and England fast bowler posted a tribute, ostensibly from their daughter Annabella. 

It read: 'To my amazing mummy, good luck on your cycling challenge! I am so proud of you! I can't wait to see you at the finish line for a big cuddle.' 

The message also included a picture of Annabella, cut and pasted onto a miniature bicycle made from cardboard and lollipop sticks.
