Heartless conmen who dressed up as Pudsey Bear to pilfer more than £500,000 from kindhearted members of the public have been ordered to pay back £100,000.
The gang was led by David Levi who would wear the beloved Children In Need's yellow bear costume outside supermarkets to con shoppers into making phony donations.
He used his ill-gotten gains to fund a life of luxury by buying expensive cars and holidays.
He appeared at Preston Crown Court last year where he was jailed for five years after admitting to fraud and money laundering.
Now the 49-year-old and fellow bogus collector Stephen Chesterman, 64, have been told to pay back some of the cash or face more time behind bars.
