In a video message recorded for Comic Relief, Prince William highlighted how some of the huge sums raised would be spent on the nation’s mental health to ensure "help is at hand when things become too much for people". (Image: BBC Children in Need/Comic Relie)“And I’m particularly pleased that Comic Relief continues to fund so many projects that support people’s mental health, which has come under particular strain over the past year." Mental health is complex – and for those incredibly hard-working people on the front line it’s a challenge they’ve sadly encountered all too often." Prince William’s message introduced a film that highlighted the huge increase in the number of people experiencing mental health issues over the past year and the support being provided by organisations funded by Comic Relief. Comic Relief’s Night of TV was hosted by presenters Davina McCall and Paddy McGuinness, comedian Sir Lenny Henry and singer Alesha Dixon.
