Hollyoaks star Jay Duffy and 75 other students from Dublin’s Belvedere college have raised a huge sum for homeless charity Focus Ireland.
The Irish actor slept rough for three nights on Dublin’s O’Connell Street to help raise much needed funds for people sleeping on the streets.
The students had aimed to raise €143,000 for the charity Sleep Out, but out-did their target.

It comes after the pupils received lots of support from celebrities.
On the first day of the sleep out Irish band Kodaline gave a special performance, while U2’s The Edge paid the students a visit and One Direction star Niall Horan asked his 20 million followers on Twitter to donate to the charity.
Earlier this week Jay said he was finding the sleep out “really tough”.
