An Edinburgh animal charity has received a donation from Ricky Gervais.
The 64-year-old has given £2.43 million to 22 charities, including Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home, from the extra profits made by platinum seating on his Mortality Tour which ran from 2024 to 2025.
Gervais said: "My mum always used to say 'you can't take it with you', no I can't mum. But I could've bought 30 speedboats and raced them round the Med with my mates, off our heads on weed and Bollinger. Anyway. Too late now."
