Pot Noeldle announces £25,000 has been raised at exclusive comedy event
Booming sales of Pot Noeldle, the charity Christmas Dinner flavour from Pot Noodle, has helped raise thousands of pounds for British troops. At Pot Noeldle's 'Stand Up for the RAF' charity gig in Manchester on 8th December, host Keith Lemon and Pot Noodle's Tom Denyard presented the RAF's Sgt Ian Hobbs, currently serving on 606 (Chiltern) Squadron, with a donation of £25,000 for the RAF Association's Wings Appeal. Sgt Hobbs came up with the idea when serving in Afghanistan, and through a radio interview the project came to life. The money will help to improve life for RAF personnel serving in Afghanistan, including giving them more telephone talk-time to call home.
2p from every Pot Noeldle sold in the UK and funds raised at the exclusive comedy event starring Keith Lemon, Rufus Hound and Pot Noodle favourite, Jarred Christmas will be donated to the RAF charity.

Pot Noodle's Tom Denyard says, 'Sales of the Pot Noeldle have been a fantastic success and we couldn't be more chuffed with the amount we have managed to raise, what a brilliant Christmas present for our troops!'
VIP guests on the night included over 40 members of the RAF who enjoyed the charity comedy gig along with lucky competition winners and celebs such as Sam Branson, Charlie Boorman, Hollyoakers, Corrie cast and 90's pop sensation Kavana. One lucky winner with the best one liner was chosen by Keith Lemon and had their face printed onto a limited edition Pot Noeldle as part of the 'Bunch of Jokers' competition.
