The broadcaster's achievement has earned her widespread praise, with congratulatory messages pouring in from public figures such as Prince William and Stormzy.
Reflecting on her accomplishment, Cox expressed her gratitude to the Radio 2 listeners and Children In Need supporters whose "fivers, tenners, and twenties" contributed to the remarkable £10 million total. The funds raised will undoubtedly make a significant difference in the lives of many children supported by the charity.
