Nicola Coughlan has helped raise a staggering $2 million (£1.5 million) in funds for a Palestinian children’s charity.
The Irish actor, who is currently reaching the end of the promo trail for the third season of Bridgerton, launched an Instagram fundraiser for the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF) ahead of the release of part two of the hit Netflix romance.
Nicola told her followers that any donations would bring “hope and solidarity to the children and families who now need it most”.
The campaign brought in a total of 124K donations from social media users, including celebrities like Modern Family actor Nolan Gould, chart-topping singer Bebe Rexha, Love Island winner Amber Gill, broadcaster Vick Hope and US singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams.
The Los Angeles-based PCRF is currently providing food, water, clothing, medical care and aid to children affected by the Israel-Hamas conflict, in which more than 37,500 people have been killed in Gaza since 7 October 2023.
The Derry Girls star already raised €70,000 (£59,580) for the London charity Medical Aid For Palestine back in May, an amount which her latest fundraising efforts well exceeded in less than two weeks.

But some are reluctant to forget his playing prowess as well.

This revolutionary song has been re-recorded by Pantha Kanai, Animes Roy and Syed Sujan. Its music is composed by Syed Sujan in the original tune of Nitai Ghatak. Video directed by Noor Hossain Hira.
Pantha Kanai said about the song, 'Poet Nazrul wrote this song as a protest and warning against the riots that took place in Calcutta from May 2 to May 18, 1926 under the title 'Kandari Hushiyar'. It was featured in his 'Sarbahara' poetry book. Even after all these years, many chose the song as a language of protest. It feels good to sing such a song in a new arrangement.
