Over €3million has been raised from viewers of Friday night's special Late Late Show on Daffodil Day.
Donations are still rolling in after the special episode focusing on the annual fundraising day for the Irish Cancer Society aired.
One of the highlights of the show saw Jedward – real names John and Edward Grimes - shave off their signature quiffs live on air.
John and Edward, whose mother Susanna died in 2019 from cancer, said: "We just want to thank everyone in the country for donating. It’s such great unity that the country needs, and it’s such a great cause. It’s an exhilarating feeling just to be here."
"This is the first time we’ve not had this hair since we were Jedward," they added.
Westlife star Shane Filan opened up to host Ryan Tubridy about how he coped with losing both of his parents, Mae and Peter, to cancer.
Filan’s mother died of lung cancer in December 2019, with his father died in October 2020 after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
He recalled his mother’s positive outlook saying, "She was amazing, she was very positive, very determined to fight it, a very strong person and she was like just a pillar of our family. It showed when she was fighting it for years."
"My dad had pancreatic cancer," he told Tubridy. "It was so surreal at the time because my mum was sick."
"You kind of wait your whole life wondering when your parents are going to get sick, what’s going to happen to your parents. You think they are superheroes."
Cavan footballer Oisin Kiernan also appeared on the show, speaking on the importance of getting lumps checked out and his own battle with testicular cancer.
"Check yourself and be aware of your body," he told viewers.
Irish Cancer CEO Averil Power opened up about the death of her father and the comfort that she and her family got from the care offered by the night nurse.
