Firstly, Josh appeared on a special Christmas edition of Romesh Ranganathan’s Parents’ Evening. In this comedy game show, celebrities team up with their parents to gamble on how many questions they can answer correctly. Josh and his dad, Tom, proved to be a formidable team, successfully doubling their money in the final round to secure a fantastic donation of £9,500 for The Lily Foundation.
But the winning streak didn’t stop there. On Saturday 3rd January, Josh returned to our screens on The Weakest Link. After a tense head-to-head battle in the final round, Josh emerged victorious, winning a further £11,800.
Josh is no stranger to winning big for The Lily Foundation. These latest victories follow his 2022 appearance on Tipping Point: Lucky Stars, when he walked away with the £20,000 jackpot.
Remarkably, Josh’s 2022 win was the second time a celebrity donated their Tipping Point jackpot to the charity, following fellow comedian Alan Davies, who also gave his £20,000 prize to the charity back in 2019.
These latest wins bring Josh’s total game show contributions for The Lily Foundation to over £40,000. Beyond the vital funds raised, his appearances on mainstream TV are invaluable for raising awareness of mitochondrial disease and our work.
As a charity founded by Liz Curtis to ensure no one faces this disease alone, we’re incredibly grateful to Josh for his continued dedication and for shining a light on our mission during the festive period.
Thank you, Josh, for being a true champion for the mito community!
