Sidemen's star-studded YouTube charity match led by KSI raises over £1million

British YouTube group the Sidemen have raised £1million for charity after they hosted a star-studded football match at Charlton Athletic's stadium The Valley.

It has since been confirmed by the group that the grand total will be split between the four charities involved. 40 per cent of the funds will be donated to the Teenage Cancer Trust, 40 per cent to CALM, 10 per cent to Rays Of Sunshine and the final 10 per cent to M7 Education.

The group, fronted by boxer, musician and social media personality KSI, put on the event that has been either watched live or via replay more than 17m times since Saturday afternoon. The Sidemen formed one starting XI, while they took on All-Star YouTube XI with around 25,000 fans in attendance.
