PAFans of Alexander Dragonetti have donated £30,000 to his chosen charity Mencap[/caption]
He won the hearts of viewers when he told of missing his brother, who had global developmental delay and autism and died aged 17 about 14 years ago.
Alexander said Mencap had taken his sibling on trips, adding: “It was just a brilliant thing for my brother and a brilliant thing for my family.”
But he agonisingly missed out on the show’s £94,600 prize after being banished by eventual winners Leanne Quigley and Jake Brown — despite being a Faithful.
But in the days since, Mencap has had more than 2,000 donations in his name.
The charity’s boss Jon Sparkes said: “Telling his story has inspired a tremendous wave of generosity from the public.
“These donations are needed now more than ever.
“We loved watching Alexander’s journey throughout the show and want to thank him for all that he’s done.”
