Friday night’s fundraiser was held by professional bingo caller Jamie Allison – dressed as Susan Boyle – and partner Fraser Milligan in aid of Strathcarron Hospice and Children’s Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS).
The pair, who hail from Larbert, have been running Facebook-based bingo sessions since March’s lockdown.

Delighted to have raised so much for charity, Jamie said: “It was brilliant. It went very well.
“We raised £3307 so each charity will get just over £1600. We had 234 players online. It was the most we’ve raised yet.”
Plans are in the pipeline for future bingo events, however, Jamie is remaining tight-lipped for now.
