On Thursday, THE biggest YouTube stars united to Stand Up To Cancer in a livestream that took the internet by storm. We’re talking Zoella, Alfie Deyes, Joe Sugg, Marc Zapanta, Oli White… and many more!

#StandUpWithYT trended on Twitter during the four hours of fun-filled YouTube craziness, as more than 50 creators took part in weird and wacky challenges as part of the fundraising campaign. All the money raised went to fund game-changing cancer research.

What happened?
