Choose Love, the charity picked by Sebastian Croft on The Celebrity Traitors, said it was “absolutely thrilled” and “deeply grateful” to receive his share of the prize money.
The BBC One gameshow reached its dramatic conclusion on Friday, when Croft and comedian Romesh Ranganathan were crowned winners.
Their win delivered a victory for the Faithfuls after traitors Maya Jama and King Kenny were banished.
The pair took home the £83,000 prize pot, with each winner's share going to their chosen charity.
Croft, a Heartstopper star also known as Bash, is 24.
He is donating his £41,500 share to Choose Love.
The organisation, formerly known as Help Refugees, is a global humanitarian organisation and movement.
It supports refugees and displaced people around the world through emergency aid and long-term support.
Emma Stevenson, acting chief executive officer of Choose Love, said: “We are absolutely thrilled and deeply grateful to Bash for choosing Choose Love as his designated charity following his incredible win on Celebrity Traitors.
“Bash has been a long-time friend and dedicated supporter of our work, and we could not be prouder of him.
“This vital funding will quite literally change and save lives.
“It allows us to extend critical support to refugees and displaced people, especially LGBTQ+ individuals who face displacement, violence and persecution simply for who they are.
“We can’t thank Bash enough, it means the world.”
Ranganathan's share of the prize pot is going to the Refugee Council.
The charity supports people who have fled war, violence and persecution to find safety and rebuild their lives in Britain.
The victory came in a nail-biting episode that drew 11.2 million viewers.
That was the highest average overnight audience of the second series of Celebrity Traitors.
The episode also recorded a peak audience of 11.6 million on BBC One, the highest of the series.
It became the most-watched episode of the celebrity spin-off to date.
During the finale, fellow traitor Kenny voted against Jama at the final roundtable, leading to her banishment.
The traitor narrowly missed out on the cash prize as a result.
Despite failing to win the prize pot, the TV presenter said on Saturday that she had donated what she would have won to her chosen charity.
She gave £83,500 to Action for Children.
The charity works to help vulnerable children with issues including poverty, abuse and finding a foster home.
It said it was “absolutely thrilled” after receiving the “generous donation”.
