Celebs raise £1m with Sport Relief ride
Seven celebrities have raised £1 million for Sport Relief with a bike ride from John O'Groats to Land's End.

Radio 1 DJ Fearne Cotton, comics Miranda Hart, Jimmy Carr, Russell Howard and Patrick Kielty, Big Brother host Davina McCall and Little Britain star David Walliams completed the four-day challenge, riding their bikes day and night across the UK.

"It has been an amazing challenge, so much harder and more gruelling than any of us thought it would be," said Walliams.

"To have raised a million pounds in four days is a fantastic thing - thanks so much for everyone who sponsored us, it kept us going."

The team reached the finish line last night after raising £1,006,509, confirmed a spokesperson.
