In 2021 Jack Whitehall’s girlfriend, Roxy Horner, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Jack (and Roxy) organised a fund raiser, for Diabetes UK, on Monday 19th December 2022 at London’s Savoy Theatre.
The comedic friends that joined Jack (and his parents) on stage were:
- Jimmy Carr
- Alan Carr
- Russell Howard
- Thanyia Moore
- Seann Walsh
- Laura Smyth
- Eshaan Akbar
Diabetes UK announced, the following March, that £40,000 had been raised. Not a bad amount, considering the theatre capacity is only around 1,100. But it was a line-up that really deserved a bigger audience and more attention. I don’t know where I’d downloaded this picture from…no trace of it now (in searches). I would assume it was Jack’s Instagram account (?).

In a Reddit AMA on 19th December 2022 Jimmy was “suited and booted” and it looks like he was dressed ready to chase off and perform at the Savoy.
