0:00:02 > 0:00:04This is the toughest thing I've ever done,
0:00:04 > 0:00:06and the toughest thing I possibly will ever do.
0:00:06 > 0:00:11Davina McCall - one of the warmest and most loved faces on TV.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Hello!
0:00:13 > 0:00:15A favourite with the British public...
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Come on, Davina! You can do it!
0:00:18 > 0:00:20..is raising money for Sport Relief.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Morning, Scotland!
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Over the last few years, she's taken part in
0:00:25 > 0:00:28- The Million Pound Bike Ride... - I quite enjoyed that.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31..and she's helped John Bishop row across the Channel.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Oh, my God, it's a canoe.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37But this year, Davina is going it alone.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40I feel a bit like I'm having an out-of-body experience.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Starting from Edinburgh Castle,
0:00:42 > 0:00:45through the Lake District and the Peak District,
0:00:45 > 0:00:48taking in some of the most stunning scenery in the UK...
0:00:48 > 0:00:50I feel like I'm walking to the Arctic.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52..Davina will cycle...
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Oh, God, I can't even get my leg over the bike!
0:00:54 > 0:00:56..swim...
0:00:56 > 0:00:57- It's horrible, eh?- Oh, God!
0:00:57 > 0:01:00We're off! See you later.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03..and run her way back to London...
0:01:03 > 0:01:05It's astonishing. It really shows a lot of great determination
0:01:05 > 0:01:07and, of course, physical fitness.
0:01:07 > 0:01:12..so that children like this can look forward to a better future.
0:01:12 > 0:01:17I am physically incapable of saying no to Sport Relief.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19In seven days of back-to-back endurance...
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Oh, God.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Come on. Come on!
0:01:22 > 0:01:27I absolutely don't know how she's managed it, really.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28I can't talk.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31I obviously can't run or cycle or swim,
0:01:31 > 0:01:34but I thought a cuddle might be useful.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36SHE GROANS
0:01:36 > 0:01:38..pushed to breaking point and beyond...
0:01:38 > 0:01:41You can do it. It's just uphill.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44..this is the inside story of Davina's challenge.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- Go!- Thank you. Thank you.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- Good luck on the swim! - Thank you, mate. Thank you.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01The next celebrity to leave
0:02:01 > 0:02:04the Big Brother house will be...
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Keith.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Davina McCall is a 46-year-old mum of three
0:02:16 > 0:02:18and the darling of live television.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23But after years of involvement with Sport Relief and Comic Relief,
0:02:23 > 0:02:27this year, Davina is putting her money where her mouth is.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Holy lady boy!
0:02:30 > 0:02:31Does my bum look big in this?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- No, not at all.- Oop!
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Leaving the glamour of TV behind,
0:02:37 > 0:02:40she will take on an epic solo challenge
0:02:40 > 0:02:43to raise money for Sport Relief.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47I want to raise loads. Like, loads.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50If I don't, I'll be disappointed.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53I'm going to be on the blower to anybody I've ever known,
0:02:53 > 0:02:57"You've got to sponsor me, I'm doing this insane thing. Help!"
0:02:57 > 0:03:00What she'll be doing is cycling, swimming,
0:03:00 > 0:03:03and running all the way from Edinburgh to London.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04I'm genuinely terrified.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07It's the first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning,
0:03:07 > 0:03:09and it's the last thing I think about at night.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10Every single day,
0:03:10 > 0:03:12it's come up - sort of,
0:03:12 > 0:03:16"My God, what am I doing?" Jesus, I don't even... I can't even run.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18I'm rubbish at running. A bike...
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Maybe I could do the biking, but, God, it's hundreds of miles!
0:03:21 > 0:03:23And the running is not just running,
0:03:23 > 0:03:26they've got to run up a bloody great hill. It's relentless.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- All right, mate?- No.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Olympian and Professor of Sport Science Greg Whyte
0:03:32 > 0:03:35knows how vital her preparation will be.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38The training is critical. The support you've got is critical.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39But that's the other thing.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Training, when you're a mum, it's hard.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45I keep trying to explain to the kids the greater good.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49That this isn't a TV show that I'm doing for fun,
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- it's to help people... - Less fortunate than us.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54- Less fortunate.- Absolutely right.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57I keep trying to explain that to the children, but Chester's only seven.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59He's like, "I don't care. You're not playing Lego with me."
0:03:59 > 0:04:03My job is to be 100% sure that she's going to make it.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06To provide her with that confidence.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08'So the fact that she's anxious now is a good thing,
0:04:08 > 0:04:10'because that will be driving her motivation.'
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- Feeling strong? - I'm going to start crying.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14GREG LAUGHS
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- I told you I was going to cry every day.- Don't cry. Not yet!
0:04:17 > 0:04:19I'm frightened about letting everyone down.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Well, you won't do that, will you?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Because just by entering the project,
0:04:24 > 0:04:27you're making a difference. Number one.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30And my job is to make sure that you don't let anybody down.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34So, with just three months to go before her seven-day ordeal begins,
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Davina undertakes a carefully planned training programme.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42- How far do you think we've swum in total today?- 400m.- 400m.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44How far are we swimming?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46- A lot further than that.- Oh, God!
0:04:46 > 0:04:50With expert guidance from Greg, she has to get up to speed
0:04:50 > 0:04:52on the bike,
0:04:52 > 0:04:53in open water...
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Nice and relaxed.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57..and on her feet.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01He'll be there to support her all the way to the end.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Greg, the other day, said, "I think you've lost a bit of weight,
0:05:03 > 0:05:05"you need to eat more." Amazing!
0:05:05 > 0:05:07I'm feeling so happy!
0:05:07 > 0:05:09That is great running.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10Fantastic work. Well done.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Big cup of tea, and a bath.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15- But not together.- No.- No.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Do you know what, you should've done
0:05:17 > 0:05:19The Great British Bake Off,
0:05:19 > 0:05:21because then you wouldn't have to do any of this
0:05:21 > 0:05:25and you could've stayed in the kitchen making and eating cakes.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27'On the surface, she's got'
0:05:27 > 0:05:30so much bravado and she's funny and silly.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32It's loud and...
0:05:32 > 0:05:36But underneath, she is like a little scared little girl.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Honestly, out of all the people I know,
0:05:39 > 0:05:41she is the most sensitive person I know.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43And all these things really get to her.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47So when she goes to Africa and stuff, she really does feel it.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50So she's doing it for all the right reasons, but she's scared.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52I'll be thinking of you the whole way,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55while I'm in my nice warm car driving home.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58There might be moments when I'll really enjoy it,
0:05:58 > 0:06:01and I'm sure there'll be moments when I'm in absolute tatters,
0:06:01 > 0:06:04but I have to try and focus on the bits that might be fun.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Like the end!
0:06:10 > 0:06:12But before she crosses the finish line,
0:06:12 > 0:06:14she'll have just seven days
0:06:14 > 0:06:18to cycle, swim, and run her way to London.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Her 500-mile journey starts in the morning,
0:06:21 > 0:06:23from Edinburgh Castle.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28It felt like so long ago, three months ago.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31I'd think, "Holy moly, it's, like, three sleeps!"
0:06:31 > 0:06:33And then it was two sleeps,
0:06:33 > 0:06:35and now it's one.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36And I can't stop it.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39And do you know the worst news of all?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41I got my period today.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43I got my period today!
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Of all the days, in all the...
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Out of the entire month,
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I get my period on the day that the challenge is about to start.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Can you believe that?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55The realisation that she has got to travel over 500 miles
0:06:55 > 0:06:57under her own steam,
0:06:57 > 0:07:01begins in the morning with a 130-mile cycle.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04So, if there are going to be nerves, tonight is where it starts.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07I feel like somebody is going to come up and go...
0:07:07 > 0:07:11"Oh, my God, we've made a mistake. We thought we'd asked Jessica Ennis.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17"Sorry, do you mind going back? We've actually got the wrong person.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21"You're 46, with three children. We've completely made a mistake.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23"We thought you were someone else."
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Because I just keep thinking, like, what is going on?!
0:07:38 > 0:07:40The waiting is over.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41Morning.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Davina has 130 miles ahead of her today.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48The aim is to reach Keswick before nightfall.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50But with bad conditions predicted,
0:07:50 > 0:07:54Greg has to plan how to protect Davina, as much as possible.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58They're forecasting up to 70mph winds.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Now, that is not only virtually impossible to cycle in,
0:08:01 > 0:08:03it's also very dangerous,
0:08:03 > 0:08:06because when a gust hits you on a bike, you move metres,
0:08:06 > 0:08:08you don't move inches.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Davina's family have come to support her,
0:08:13 > 0:08:17and are under no illusions as to how tough this first day is going to be.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19'Cycling into the wind'
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- all day is...- Yes, that's hell.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23'She did say she didn't mind too much about rain.'
0:08:23 > 0:08:25It was if the wind starts building,
0:08:25 > 0:08:27that will worry her a bit more.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30But Davina now has to focus on the day ahead.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35130 miles is formidable.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38It's one of the longest stages of the Tour de France,
0:08:38 > 0:08:40and Davina is not an athlete.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Just get on with it and stop whingeing!
0:08:43 > 0:08:46So it's cold and it's wet big deal!
0:08:46 > 0:08:48My God, it's a tough one.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Just in awe of it, really.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52I think she's got a hell of a week ahead of her and...
0:08:52 > 0:08:55But she's got the head for it, you know.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- Get on with it! - CHEERING
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Morning, Scotland!
0:09:10 > 0:09:13SHE WHOOPS
0:09:15 > 0:09:16Well, that's embarrassing.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18I've been lapped by a runner.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Hiya.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25By the first pit stop,
0:09:25 > 0:09:28the predicted bad weather is moving in.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32That was quite a brutal start, I can't really speak.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34I've lost contact with my face.
0:09:34 > 0:09:39- Hiya! You all right? - It's amazing, but she'll freeze.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42It's cold. It's windy and wet.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46She's amazing and she's doing it very, very good.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48And it's good she's doing it for charity.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50To make sure all this really counts,
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Davina has to make time to promote the challenge.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- RADIO:- So while you're doing whatever you're doing next week,
0:09:57 > 0:09:59just stop and think about what Davina McCall
0:09:59 > 0:10:03is about to undertake over the next seven days.
0:10:03 > 0:10:08Matt? Oh, Matt. I'm so tired and I've only done 30 miles.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10It's only been a few hours, are you all right?
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- I have got 470 miles to go!- Oh, dear.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14You've chosen the wrong time of year, Davina.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- You should've done it in spring. Would've been lovely!- The one thing
0:10:18 > 0:10:20I hadn't sort of mentally prepared for, at all, was wind.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23It is SO gusty up here.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26It's gusting, I would say, probably up to about 30, 40mph.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28That's when it becomes dangerous.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31It's then the gusts can just lift the bike off the Tarmac.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- Oh!- Whoa, tiger!
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Be a bit mindful of the wind as we come round this corner.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43WIND WHISTLES
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Greg tries his best to protect Davina
0:10:45 > 0:10:48by shielding her from the gusts.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04AUDIO BLEEP
0:11:07 > 0:11:08Greg's fallen.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10AUDIO BLEEP
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Greg's OK, and gets straight back on the bike,
0:11:22 > 0:11:25but the incident has left Davina seriously shaken up.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36The constant freezing rain and fatigue are taking their toll.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Four hours into the challenge and Davina has to stop.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53I can't do this!
0:11:53 > 0:11:56It's not even that hilly.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58If it wasn't raining and windy,
0:11:58 > 0:12:00it wouldn't be that bad.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04You'd be surprised how hilly it is out there.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- Really?- Because you've got your head down, grinding away...
0:12:07 > 0:12:09It is hilly out there!
0:12:09 > 0:12:10I don't want to go...
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Right, chill. I fell off, for Christ's sake!
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- HE LAUGHS - No, you're doing fantastic.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21Anxiously waiting at the lunch stop are Davina's parents.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25She always wants to rise to a challenge. She's got that drive.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27If somebody challenges her to something, she just has to do it.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Come on. Come on!
0:12:31 > 0:12:33COME ON!
0:12:33 > 0:12:35She works bloody hard on everything she does...
0:12:37 > 0:12:41..and really pushes it as far as she can to do the right thing.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46'I just want to put my arms around her and give her a big hug.'
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Oh, God, it's so...
0:12:54 > 0:12:56She had a bit of a cry.
0:12:56 > 0:13:01She was quite nervous. But I think she'll be all right.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04Got to relax.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07My dad rescues me all the time.
0:13:07 > 0:13:12I never forget when I had a bit of a drama in Paris with my mum
0:13:12 > 0:13:15and I called up my dad and I said, "Look..."
0:13:15 > 0:13:17I was 19, so I was quite old.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19..and I said, "I've never asked,
0:13:19 > 0:13:23"but I really, really need you to come."
0:13:23 > 0:13:26And he went, "I'll get on the next plane."
0:13:26 > 0:13:30And he looked exactly like that again,
0:13:30 > 0:13:32all big and...
0:13:32 > 0:13:34there.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Very nice. Proper Daddy's girl, I am.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38'This stop is really important'
0:13:38 > 0:13:41to get some fuel and energy back into her again,
0:13:41 > 0:13:44and just try and keep her going.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Do you think you could eat?
0:13:46 > 0:13:48You know, time's going really fast
0:13:48 > 0:13:51and then I'm going to have to get back on the bike.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59This is the furthest I've ever ridden.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Furthest ride ever. Roll, baby, roll!
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Davina has already spent ten hours on the bike,
0:14:06 > 0:14:11and it looks like she won't finish today's cycle before midnight.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13IN EXAGGERATED ACCENT: I'm a meerkat.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- Meerkat, yes! - Look, I'm sitting like a meerkat.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17Hi!
0:14:17 > 0:14:19But as news of the challenge spreads,
0:14:19 > 0:14:22the local support is giving her the boost she needs.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Holy moly!
0:14:25 > 0:14:26Hi, guys!
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- Thank you for being here. - Good luck, Davina.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32I'm literally, sort of, on my knees.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Oh, God, I can't even get my leg over the bike!
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Argh!
0:14:38 > 0:14:42CHEERING My knee is so bad!
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Good work. Strong.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Just keep it spinning.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50But it's going to be a slow climb towards Keswick.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52- Oh, God!- Wind up!
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- I haven't got it left. - Yeah, you have!- Squeeze it out!
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- Come on, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze! - I can't do it!
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Yes, you can! Focus.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Focus.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10- Come on, come on. - Squeeze out, now. Squeeze out.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16You've got about 100m to go.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21100m to the top now.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23You're looking fantastic.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Very, very strong. Work through those legs.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Drive it out. Great work!
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Right, into the tub.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- Oh, God, really?- Come on.- OK.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57- You're into your sleep time. - Am I not going to get hypothermia?
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Day one might be over,
0:15:59 > 0:16:03but all that is waiting for Davina
0:16:03 > 0:16:06is a freezing cold bath.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Oh, God, no, no, no!
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Argh!
0:16:11 > 0:16:13SHE PANTS
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- Ten minutes... Is somebody counting? - Yeah.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18The icy temperature will give her muscles the best chance to recover
0:16:18 > 0:16:22before the challenge continues tomorrow.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- I hate the cold! - Keep your toes pumping.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27I'm really frightened now.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28Really, really frightened.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30I don't know how...
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Well, first of all,
0:16:32 > 0:16:35with my poor nou-nou the way that it is,
0:16:35 > 0:16:40how am I going to sit on a saddle TOMORROW?!
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Again!
0:16:45 > 0:16:46Are you decent?
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- Oh, hello.- Are you warm enough?
0:16:49 > 0:16:52I went to sleep in a onesie, my socks, and, eventually...
0:16:52 > 0:16:55I couldn't get hot. I was really shivering.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58So, eventually, I actually went to bed in that.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Brilliant.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04OK, here we go, come on!
0:17:04 > 0:17:07I don't think I've ever cried this much, ever.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10So, after five hours' sleep,
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Davina is back on the bike.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14She will cycle eight miles
0:17:14 > 0:17:16to the foot of Scafell Pike,
0:17:16 > 0:17:18the highest peak in England.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Her challenge is to climb over Scafell,
0:17:20 > 0:17:23then cycle to today's finish,
0:17:23 > 0:17:25the edge of Lake Windermere.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29With the help of expert mountain guides,
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Davina will trek seven miles around the summit and over the ridge
0:17:32 > 0:17:35in what are expected to be tough conditions.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40They have picked a bad day. There haven't been
0:17:40 > 0:17:41many good days this winter.
0:17:41 > 0:17:46I wouldn't go up there today unless I had to. My opinion.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53We're heading up there. Above 500m...
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Do you think it's going to get windier?
0:17:55 > 0:17:57It's going to get windier,
0:17:57 > 0:17:58colder, and under foot,
0:17:58 > 0:18:00it will get much more difficult.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02It's all about taking care, really.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08In these conditions, Scafell could prove to be treacherous.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14I'm a bit scared.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19But as they make their way out onto the mountain, Davina's thoughts
0:18:19 > 0:18:22turn to why she is so determined to complete this challenge.
0:18:25 > 0:18:30As we have been walking up, we've been walking on bits like this
0:18:30 > 0:18:32and it really reminded me of a project
0:18:32 > 0:18:34that I've visited in the quarry.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37They take a stone about this size
0:18:37 > 0:18:40and they'd turn it into a bag...
0:18:40 > 0:18:46full of stones about this size. And ten bags of that
0:18:46 > 0:18:48would make them a pound.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54Before she started the challenge,
0:18:54 > 0:18:59Davina visited a quarry on the edge of Nairobi in Kenya.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Families work 12 hours a day here,
0:19:06 > 0:19:10breaking rocks to build roads in the city.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13It is so dangerous.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17You can just spot people up there,
0:19:17 > 0:19:22but just below as well. It is very physical labour.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25There are lots of women and children down there.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32In fact, the majority of the quarry workers
0:19:32 > 0:19:34are single mothers who have no choice
0:19:34 > 0:19:37other than to bring their children to work with them.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Ann comes here every day at seven in the morning with her mum,
0:19:42 > 0:19:47Benedicta, and her two little brothers. She is just 13.
0:19:47 > 0:19:55- What happens to these? Where does it go?- We'll sell it there.- You sell it?
0:19:55 > 0:20:01Yes, we keep in the basket and we sell there.
0:20:01 > 0:20:06- You speak really good English. - Thank you.- You're welcome.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- Would you like to go to school?- Yes.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13- What do you want to be?- A doctor.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- A doctor?- Yes.- That's a great job.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20'It always strikes me when they say,'
0:20:20 > 0:20:23"I want to go to school," because, you know, that Monday morning thing
0:20:23 > 0:20:27when all of your kids are going, "I don't want to go to school! Ugh!"
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Here, every child wants to go to school, every child wants
0:20:31 > 0:20:34to have an education and be around other children, and to play.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39But without Ann working alongside her,
0:20:39 > 0:20:43Benedicta would not even earn enough to feed her family.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- Can I try?- Yes.- Is it hard?- Yes.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Oh, on the edge.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Nobody was talking, nobody was laughing.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02They were just heads down and doing their job.
0:21:02 > 0:21:08And I tell you, it is a thankless task. It's really dangerous.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11I mean, I had bits of stone flying all over me.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17I am quite conscious that I am taking up valuable time,
0:21:17 > 0:21:20she has got buckets and buckets to fill. Benedicta...
0:21:26 > 0:21:28It is not a place for children.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30She just kept chiselling away
0:21:30 > 0:21:34because she has to get those 15 bags done with her mum, or they don't
0:21:34 > 0:21:37get the money and they don't get the food on the table.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40And she wants to be a doctor
0:21:40 > 0:21:42and she wants to save the world.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50It is meeting girls like Ann which has given Davina the determination
0:21:50 > 0:21:51to do this challenge.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55And it is remembering that which spurs her on now.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- I have blown round. - I know, those gusts.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Oh!
0:22:05 > 0:22:07SHE LAUGHS
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Amazing. All right, Doc?
0:22:21 > 0:22:26- Back in one piece.- In one piece. - Two arms, two legs.- Yes. All good.
0:22:26 > 0:22:32- Daddy!- Well done.- Thanks, Dad.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Back at the hotel, Davina's best friend, Sarah,
0:22:36 > 0:22:38has arrived unexpectedly.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40She knows her friend is dreading
0:22:40 > 0:22:43tomorrow's swim across Lake Windermere.
0:22:44 > 0:22:50Oh, my darling! Oh, Divi!
0:22:50 > 0:22:51DAVINA SOBS
0:22:51 > 0:22:55I am going to be shouting you on and swearing at you from the boat.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58- I am so happy.- I know. This was the bit, because I knew...
0:22:58 > 0:22:59I was trying to be brave for you.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02I know, because I knew that's the bit that's going to freak you out.
0:23:02 > 0:23:08- What's this?- This is...- Look at the little knees! Little cold knees!
0:23:08 > 0:23:12It's a doughnut. It's very painful.
0:23:26 > 0:23:31My quads aren't too bad. My hamstrings are worse. That's OK,
0:23:31 > 0:23:33that's not OK. Oh, God.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36It's a monkey spot, ooh-ooh-ooh!
0:23:39 > 0:23:40In just over an hour,
0:23:40 > 0:23:44Davina will tackle her biggest personal challenge.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46To complete today's stage, she will swim
0:23:46 > 0:23:50a mile and a half in open water.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55Oh, darling! It is going to be OK, I promise you.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59I am going to be with you the whole time. You're not on your own.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10But Davina knows, with all the support in the world,
0:24:10 > 0:24:14once she gets in that water, it will be down to her own strength
0:24:14 > 0:24:17and determination to reach the other side.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- 'She is a strong swimmer, I would say.- Yes.'
0:24:24 > 0:24:27She has always said she doesn't enjoy open water,
0:24:27 > 0:24:30even the sea, because she is always nervous about what is underneath.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32'She doesn't like it if she can't see.'
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- A wedgie! - 'The water temperature'
0:24:35 > 0:24:38is going to be a shock to the system.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39She knows what the shock is.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43LAUGHTER
0:24:43 > 0:24:44'But she is dreading the cold water'
0:24:44 > 0:24:46and especially the cold water on her face.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50'Because that is extremely painful, she said.'
0:24:50 > 0:24:52I'm going down to the boat. I will see you down there. I love you.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55'She has got to finish the challenge, whatever she is feeling.'
0:24:55 > 0:24:57That will be what is in her head.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59In spite of the pressure,
0:24:59 > 0:25:03the driving force behind her challenge remains.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06The cause so close to her heart.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Often, just changing...
0:25:08 > 0:25:12just changing one girl's life or one woman's life can really change
0:25:12 > 0:25:14a whole family and that, in turn,
0:25:14 > 0:25:17changes a community, which, in turn...
0:25:17 > 0:25:19You know, from small acorns,
0:25:19 > 0:25:22really enormous change can happen.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26'Davina's really fatigued, there is no doubt about that.
0:25:26 > 0:25:27'It has been a tough two days.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30'But actually, today, fear has taken over, it is'
0:25:30 > 0:25:33going to be a very tough morning.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35But even with every reassurance,
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Davina still can't let go of that fear.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40I know this is the one that is
0:25:40 > 0:25:42terrifying her more than anything else.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52I'm very nervous, I literally cannot stop shaking.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55You know, the sooner I get in there, the sooner it is over.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Thank you very much for your support.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01Nice and relaxed, OK?
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Forget all that now, just focus, OK?
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Just focus, just nice and relaxed.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Absolutely no panic, apart from the fact...
0:26:10 > 0:26:12THEY LAUGH
0:26:13 > 0:26:16It's going to be good. Chill.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18I'm going to be OK.
0:26:18 > 0:26:23You're going to be absolutely fine, you're going to be absolutely fine.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33OK? Ready?
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Three, two, one, let's go.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:26:59 > 0:27:01I can't move.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Too tight.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Only 60m out and Davina's anxiety
0:27:08 > 0:27:09is overwhelming her.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Divi, come on! Come on, Divi, come on! You can do it.
0:27:29 > 0:27:34As her front crawl gets weaker, she feels like she is getting nowhere.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37You can actually see the windows in the hotel. We are that close.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39I'm sorry, Greg. I am so sorry
0:27:39 > 0:27:41- for being a wuss. - I am so proud of you.
0:27:46 > 0:27:51Throughout her life, she has faced lots of different challenges.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53She has had to be strong, that is part of her,
0:27:53 > 0:27:55that is part of her make-up.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59- How far?- It's not far, it's near.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01It's over halfway.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05I would say probably about 600m.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Greg knows that if she doesn't keep moving,
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Davina's core temperature will drop,
0:28:10 > 0:28:12which could put her at risk of hypothermia.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Come on, Davina!
0:28:15 > 0:28:16CHEERING
0:28:16 > 0:28:21The waiting crowd have no idea how tough she is finding the swim.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23It is really pushing her to the limits,
0:28:23 > 0:28:27I can see she is really struggling at the moment, losing her energy.
0:28:27 > 0:28:33- Are you OK?- Yes, I'm good.- I'm sorry.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36- Listen, we're getting across. - What kind of swimmer am I?
0:28:36 > 0:28:39A good swimmer. And a brave swimmer.
0:28:42 > 0:28:43Day one was really difficult
0:28:43 > 0:28:47and I don't think she thought that it was going to get any worse.
0:28:47 > 0:28:48And I think this is worse.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53With just metres to go, Greg and the safety team close in.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56CROWD CHEERS
0:29:03 > 0:29:06Somehow, Davina makes it to the jetty,
0:29:06 > 0:29:09but it has taken every bit of energy she had.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Her core temperature has plummeted.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24She is so exhausted that she is simply unable to get herself
0:29:24 > 0:29:25out of the water.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31An emergency recovery plan is immediately put into action.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37Getting her warmed up is now a matter of urgency.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43The medical team have to carefully control raising her temperature.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Going to put your woolly hat on for you.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51Got lots of warm drinks for you, OK?
0:29:51 > 0:29:54- It is a slow process to get you warm, all right?- OK.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57- It is not going to happen in minutes.- OK.
0:29:57 > 0:30:01- What matters is that we get you nice and warm.- I'm scared.- You're fine.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04Although it feels scary,
0:30:04 > 0:30:07shivering is a sign that her body is warming up.
0:30:10 > 0:30:15- I am coming back. I am coming back. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:30:17 > 0:30:22- 15 minutes later, her temperature is back to normal.- Is Greg all right?
0:30:22 > 0:30:24- He's good.- Greg was so cold.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28If you ever see me near a Comic Relief challenge again, shoot me!
0:30:30 > 0:30:34- This is nice.- Huh?- This is nice.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38# Bring me sunshine in your smile
0:30:38 > 0:30:40# Bring me laughter... #
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Oh, Greg!
0:30:44 > 0:30:49- You OK?- Yep. - It was my classic question.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52About 200... Wait till you hear the question.
0:30:52 > 0:30:58About 400m to go, I looked at her and said, "Are you cold?"
0:30:58 > 0:31:01Right from the very beginning, she was struggling.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05She couldn't breathe initially, the cold water was that cold.
0:31:05 > 0:31:10She was that anxious and she was fearful, really, but she kept going.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14She has got to get on a bike... 60 miles, she has got to cycle.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16I don't know how she's going to do that.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19I mean, she will do it, but I don't know how.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27- Well done.- Thanks, guys.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33CHEERING
0:31:33 > 0:31:36I can't believe I swam that!
0:31:36 > 0:31:38I have warmed up now, I have had a nice bath
0:31:38 > 0:31:40and I'm ready to get on the bike.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43CROWD SHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT
0:31:43 > 0:31:46It means a lot, especially seeing so many ladies out here.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49I am doing it for the girls.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56THEY CHANT: Davina, Davina!
0:32:00 > 0:32:05Thank you. Thanks, guys. Thank you, thank you.
0:32:06 > 0:32:07Thank you, mate, thank you.
0:32:10 > 0:32:15Amazing. I can't believe I am on a bike after that.
0:32:16 > 0:32:17The maddest thing ever.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21If you have been inspired by Davina,
0:32:21 > 0:32:22please donate to Sport Relief.
0:32:50 > 0:32:5520 miles away, at Davina's next pit stop, Matthew is waiting.
0:32:55 > 0:33:00I saw the video this morning and it was a bit of a shocker, eh?
0:33:00 > 0:33:04I thought, I had better get my arse in gear and check on the wife.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07So here I am, after a very long drive.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11Hi. Thank you so much.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13I just wanted to be here and give her a big old hug
0:33:13 > 0:33:16and say, well bloody done, it's phenomenal.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18I didn't even realise she was doing the bike ride after.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21I thought, at least she will get to sleep this afternoon.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25No, no, she's doing another 60+ miles. I said, "Oh, my God!"
0:33:31 > 0:33:36- I think she is just coming around the corner.- Oh, my God, you're here!
0:33:38 > 0:33:46I can't believe it. I... I just... Oh!
0:33:47 > 0:33:49- It's from the kids.- From the kids?
0:33:51 > 0:33:57- Holly made it. - Holly made it? Oh, look!
0:33:57 > 0:34:00Oh, my God, look at that. "Keep going." And it is all for me.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03Have you seen what Chester put on the front of the card?
0:34:03 > 0:34:06No, what did he put?
0:34:06 > 0:34:11- "I think you are stronger than Dad." - No, no, no.- No, no, no. Oh!
0:34:15 > 0:34:18CHEERING
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Come on!
0:34:27 > 0:34:30It is like hills all the way now, unbelievable.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34But she is still smiling. It just defies belief, really, doesn't it?
0:34:34 > 0:34:38I didn't know this when we got married - I've married a loon!
0:34:44 > 0:34:46With the third day of the challenge
0:34:46 > 0:34:48ending in Accrington town centre,
0:34:48 > 0:34:50everyone wants to hear how
0:34:50 > 0:34:52she conquered Lake Windermere.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57I got a feeling at the end of that swim, it looked terrible.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00All I was thinking was, I have got to get to the pier.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06It's testament to everybody that is working on the challenge that
0:35:06 > 0:35:09- I did get on a bike two hours later. - How did you manage it?
0:35:09 > 0:35:11- I don't know.- How did you find the bike this afternoon?
0:35:11 > 0:35:15Every day, I do something and I think, how am I doing this?
0:35:15 > 0:35:18- But it is day three and I have got four more days to go.- Well done.
0:35:18 > 0:35:23- Thank you very much.- Thanks. Thanks so much, thank you.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Support for Davina
0:35:27 > 0:35:30after the swim has come flooding in from home.
0:35:31 > 0:35:37I had 98 texts from people, friends of mine.
0:35:37 > 0:35:42Sometimes, four or five from the same person.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Saying, "Please, let me know you are OK."
0:35:44 > 0:35:46And I just had to smiley face.
0:35:46 > 0:35:50The worst thing for me, and all I kept saying was, "I can't breathe."
0:35:50 > 0:35:52It was really scary and I didn't like it.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00Anyway, the amazing thing is, I got on the bike afterwards
0:36:00 > 0:36:03and, at the end of the day, I just thought, "My God, was that me?"
0:36:07 > 0:36:10And husband Matthew is worried about the conditions,
0:36:10 > 0:36:13as she prepares to continue the challenge.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17How safe can you be? It is all relative.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20I mean, sub-zero temperatures, it is just, you know,
0:36:20 > 0:36:24horrible rain, it is calling for minus figures and snowing today.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27Let's do this thing! Come on!
0:36:27 > 0:36:29CHEERING
0:36:32 > 0:36:34But there is no stopping Davina.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38I kind of want to just pick her up and take her away, but, you know...
0:36:39 > 0:36:42But she gets up and cracks on, amazing.
0:36:42 > 0:36:43100m to the summit.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46Don't be afraid to come out of the saddle if you want respite.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49That's a great climb, that is a really tough start to the day.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53Whenever it gets tough, just think, at least I'm not in the water.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55You will never be that cold again.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58After an uphill start, everything catches up with her
0:36:58 > 0:37:01and she is forced to take a break.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03SHE SOBS
0:37:03 > 0:37:06I am so tired!
0:37:07 > 0:37:09'She didn't sleep very well last night.'
0:37:09 > 0:37:11It's making her emotional.
0:37:11 > 0:37:15It's like a roller coaster we're having every day at the moment.
0:37:18 > 0:37:19She is just shattered.
0:37:21 > 0:37:26Davina still has 35 miles to reach Hayfield, in the Peak District.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28There, she will get off the bike and run over
0:37:28 > 0:37:32part of the Pennine Way, to finish the day at the village of Edale.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34But there is snow ahead.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41- Go, Davina!- Thanks, mate.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48CHEERING
0:37:50 > 0:37:52The weather is looking good,
0:37:52 > 0:37:55there is a chance of showers, snow showers.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Almost definitely going to be sunshine, and plenty of snow.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00- It's like a holiday.- Yeah!
0:38:00 > 0:38:03Not quite sounding like a holiday, but...
0:38:03 > 0:38:05It probably is deep enough to ski.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07- Is it? - Yeah, but we won't be doing that.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21- This feels really weird.- Yeah.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23Do you know, this is what the triathlon feels like.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25When you've done all that cycling
0:38:25 > 0:38:28and you get off, and your legs are like, "What are you doing?"
0:38:28 > 0:38:31After spending most of the last three days on the bike,
0:38:31 > 0:38:34the seven miles to Edale is going to take its toll.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37Does feel like my legs won't take me.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43Well, I tell you what, we have lucked out with the weather,
0:38:43 > 0:38:46this is just incredible.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50Mentally, I want to run up this hill, I want to do it,
0:38:50 > 0:38:54but, like, I just can't sum it up from anywhere
0:38:54 > 0:38:55and it's such a weird feeling,
0:38:55 > 0:38:57because I can always sum it up.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03I feel like I'm walking to the Arctic.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06Look at that! Look at that!
0:39:06 > 0:39:09- Oh, God. That's amazing. That's amazing.- At long last, some sunshine.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12That's the first sun we've seen for a long time.
0:39:12 > 0:39:18- Ah!- What a picture, eh? There we go.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20HE LAUGHS
0:39:20 > 0:39:22At the end of every day, when I think
0:39:22 > 0:39:24it's over, it's not over.
0:39:24 > 0:39:29Cos it starts again tomorrow. CHEERING
0:39:33 > 0:39:36- You all right?- Been waiting for you. - Look, photo, photo!- Nice one.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38'I know some pretty serious athletes,'
0:39:38 > 0:39:41and they maybe do one of these days.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44But they wouldn't do the back-to-back exercise that
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Davina's taking on.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49It's incredible. Absolutely incredible. Inspiring.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51And even Davina is starting to question
0:39:51 > 0:39:53how she's got through this far.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56At the end of every day, I think,
0:39:56 > 0:39:59"Who was that girl that got up at that time in the morning
0:39:59 > 0:40:02"in that horrific weather and did that? Who was that?"
0:40:02 > 0:40:04It doesn't... It feels almost separate.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08Partially, I think, from having a mum that used to drink,
0:40:08 > 0:40:10that I learned to fit...
0:40:10 > 0:40:12You know, you have to fit in with the mood,
0:40:12 > 0:40:14or you have to make something work.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18I was just a really big people pleaser.
0:40:18 > 0:40:22Can I get off the bike and go, "Oh, my God! My legs! My calves!
0:40:22 > 0:40:25"I'm in so much pain, I'm so tired"?
0:40:25 > 0:40:29Because I'd quite like to do that, because that's how I feel,
0:40:29 > 0:40:32but I look at everybody and they're all looking at me,
0:40:32 > 0:40:34like, "Are you OK now?"
0:40:34 > 0:40:37So I go, "Yay! Done that bit! I'm great."
0:40:41 > 0:40:44It's time to say goodbye to the Peak District.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47Today's cycle starts at the village school.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50We are one of the smallest schools probably in the country,
0:40:50 > 0:40:52with just 14 children.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54CHILDREN CHANT: Davina! Davina!
0:40:54 > 0:40:57All 14 of Edale's primary school pupils
0:40:57 > 0:41:00are already raising money for Sport Relief.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02So have you been working really hard for it?
0:41:02 > 0:41:04CHILDREN: Yeah!
0:41:04 > 0:41:07So, Sport Relief basically help people
0:41:07 > 0:41:10who have very difficult lives around the world.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14So, I met this girl called Ann a few weeks ago in Kenya,
0:41:14 > 0:41:17and she worked in the quarry with her family all day, every day,
0:41:17 > 0:41:19and all she wants to do is go to school.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21And Sport Relief have a project which helps her go to school.
0:41:21 > 0:41:25It's quite funny, isn't it, to think that somebody's desperate to go to school?
0:41:25 > 0:41:29I'm sure there's some mornings when you think, "I don't really want to go to school."
0:41:29 > 0:41:31But she really wants to go to school.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33So, you're raising money to help kids
0:41:33 > 0:41:36and help families have better lives,
0:41:36 > 0:41:38so that's such an amazing thing.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44Two months ago, in Kenya, when Davina met Ann,
0:41:44 > 0:41:48she was working in the quarry to help her mum and little brothers.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50After a 12-hour day,
0:41:50 > 0:41:54she took Davina McCall to show her her most prized possession.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58- So, this is your house?- Yes.
0:42:01 > 0:42:02Oh! What's this?
0:42:07 > 0:42:09- So, these are schoolbooks?- Yes.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13- Where did you get these from? - My friend gave me.
0:42:13 > 0:42:19- This book is for English. - For English. Do you read it?- Yes.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23- And you've been writing down the medical words cos you want to be a doctor?- Yes.
0:42:23 > 0:42:24Can you read it to me?
0:42:24 > 0:42:29"Ambulance, vaccine, cough,
0:42:29 > 0:42:33"symptom, appetite, persist."
0:42:33 > 0:42:38- What do you like about learning? - Because I want to have a good future.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43Thanks to Sport Relief, there is hope for Ann.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45So, Ann needs to go to school,
0:42:45 > 0:42:50and if she works half as hard as she did in the quarry, she'll do extremely well.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54And she's focused, and she really wants to do it.
0:42:55 > 0:42:59After being at the quarry, it's lovely to see them having fun, isn't it?
0:42:59 > 0:43:03Oh! Look at that! You're turning round! She's turning round!
0:43:06 > 0:43:11Sport Relief support a local project run by Sarah Mbira that means
0:43:11 > 0:43:14Ann will finally be able to go to school.
0:43:14 > 0:43:19This is where we shall take Ann. This is Pendekezo Letu centre.
0:43:19 > 0:43:22- She will be going this March. - Exciting!
0:43:22 > 0:43:25And this will be the classroom, and this will be her teacher.
0:43:25 > 0:43:29- There's a uniform? - Yes, there's a uniform.- Yep.
0:43:29 > 0:43:31I want to show you this, Ann.
0:43:33 > 0:43:37- What's that?- They are having fun. Girls are having fun.- Dance lessons?
0:43:37 > 0:43:40- Yes, dance lessons.- Fantastic!
0:43:48 > 0:43:51Thanks to the money you give to Sport Relief,
0:43:51 > 0:43:54girls like Ann can go to school
0:43:54 > 0:43:58and their families can be helped to find work outside the quarry.
0:43:58 > 0:44:01But there are thousands more like her that need your help.
0:44:05 > 0:44:07£5 could help a girl in Kenya
0:44:07 > 0:44:09go to school for a fortnight.
0:44:10 > 0:44:14£10 could provide her with education for a month.
0:44:44 > 0:44:46- I'm feeling a bit more positive today, you know?- Yeah.
0:44:46 > 0:44:52Like I've broken the back of it. Like I'm coming home.
0:44:52 > 0:44:55HOOTER BLARES Thank you!
0:44:55 > 0:44:58That's my girl! Come on, Davina!
0:44:59 > 0:45:02SHE LAUGHS
0:45:07 > 0:45:10But as she heads south on the 90-mile cycle to Birmingham,
0:45:10 > 0:45:12the wind and rain make an unwelcome return.
0:45:21 > 0:45:27- You got to love the wind!- I'm trying really hard to love the wind.
0:45:27 > 0:45:29- I Love it.- I love the wind!
0:45:29 > 0:45:31# I love the wind... #
0:45:31 > 0:45:33And after an enforced detour around
0:45:33 > 0:45:36a flooded lane, Greg makes a call.
0:45:36 > 0:45:38Good work. Good work.
0:45:39 > 0:45:41We're not quite at the endpoint,
0:45:41 > 0:45:44because of a big detour we had to do because of the flooding
0:45:44 > 0:45:48and the weather, we put about eight miles on extra in the middle,
0:45:48 > 0:45:51so she's hit her 90-mile target, 90 miles done. End of the day.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54I'm going to get her back to the hotel and get some recovery,
0:45:54 > 0:45:56cos she's got a very big day tomorrow.
0:46:08 > 0:46:10Today's cycle begins in Birmingham,
0:46:10 > 0:46:13and little does Davina realise she'll be having a very special
0:46:13 > 0:46:16breakfast in bed before she sets off.
0:46:16 > 0:46:19She needs carbs, she needs fat, she needs calories,
0:46:19 > 0:46:22that's what she's going to get.
0:46:22 > 0:46:26- Room service. Hello! - SHE LAUGHS
0:46:26 > 0:46:31Mel Giedroyc has brought more than just the full English.
0:46:31 > 0:46:32Maybe this will help.
0:46:32 > 0:46:35I've baked some Windermere biscuits.
0:46:35 > 0:46:37Is that cold? Is that me...?
0:46:37 > 0:46:40- They're hypothermic. - DAVINA LAUGHS
0:46:40 > 0:46:42I'm afraid one of the arms fell off.
0:46:42 > 0:46:44That's what happens when you've got hypothermia!
0:46:44 > 0:46:47Oh, hang on. Weather, weather, weather.
0:46:47 > 0:46:49- Drier and calmer! - DAVINA SHOUTS
0:46:49 > 0:46:51Drier and calmer.
0:46:51 > 0:46:56The trees are not even remotely moving at the moment.
0:46:56 > 0:47:00- Sorry to just open the window. Sorry.- That's amazing!
0:47:00 > 0:47:02So, it looks like Mel's brought the sun with her
0:47:02 > 0:47:06for the start of the 115-mile ride to Windsor Castle.
0:47:06 > 0:47:09CHEERING
0:47:12 > 0:47:15- 20mph on the flat.- It's so nice.
0:47:15 > 0:47:18- Yesterday, it was six with that wind.- So nice.
0:47:18 > 0:47:20Woo! We love the downhill!
0:47:23 > 0:47:27SHOUTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
0:47:27 > 0:47:30They approach Stratford with Mel close on their heels.
0:47:30 > 0:47:32Come on, Davina!
0:47:32 > 0:47:35We're in Shakespeare's home town.
0:47:35 > 0:47:37Alas, poor Yorick, I knew him well.
0:47:37 > 0:47:41Nearly there, Davina. Once more into the breach,
0:47:41 > 0:47:44dear friend.
0:47:44 > 0:47:48APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:47:49 > 0:47:54- You look really strong. - Strong today.- Looked amazing.
0:47:54 > 0:48:01The sun was out, thank God. There's blue sky, the mood was...good.
0:48:01 > 0:48:02And she's strong!
0:48:09 > 0:48:11- This is the Chilterns.- Ah, OK!
0:48:11 > 0:48:13- You know you're really close to home now.- Yep.
0:48:13 > 0:48:16Basically, the other side of that is London.
0:48:16 > 0:48:20The positive mood continues as there is more surprise support
0:48:20 > 0:48:23waiting at the next pitstop.
0:48:23 > 0:48:25Where is she? Come on!
0:48:27 > 0:48:33APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:48:33 > 0:48:34Thank you!
0:48:36 > 0:48:38DAVINA SCREAMS
0:48:38 > 0:48:42Oh, my God! You've got to be kidding me! Oh, my God!
0:48:46 > 0:48:48Today is amazing.
0:48:48 > 0:48:54But if it had been like this on the other days,
0:48:54 > 0:48:58then it wouldn't have been as much of a challenge.
0:48:58 > 0:49:02- And today wouldn't be as amazing. - Today wouldn't be as amazing.
0:49:02 > 0:49:06But those seriously tough first days mean Davina needs physio work
0:49:06 > 0:49:09every single time she stops, now.
0:49:09 > 0:49:13Watch this. What are you doing? Feel... Feel this.
0:49:13 > 0:49:15Feel my leg, feel my knee.
0:49:16 > 0:49:20- My knee's getting iced.- Shut up. - He's got icy water in here.
0:49:20 > 0:49:23Never seen anything like it. Never seen anything like it.
0:49:23 > 0:49:26I imagine every time she reaches breaking point,
0:49:26 > 0:49:29and that's been a few times, she's thinking of the women
0:49:29 > 0:49:32in Kenya who she's helping and she somehow digs deep.
0:49:32 > 0:49:36I don't know how she does it, and she keeps going.
0:49:36 > 0:49:41Patched up, Davina sets off. This is the final cycle leg of her journey.
0:49:41 > 0:49:46After almost six days and over 450 miles,
0:49:46 > 0:49:49tomorrow will be the last day of the challenge.
0:49:49 > 0:49:52But there's still 20 miles to go before Windsor,
0:49:52 > 0:49:56and joining her is Olympic gold medallist Denise Lewis.
0:49:56 > 0:50:03This is...the last bit of cycling that I'm doing on this challenge.
0:50:03 > 0:50:08- I know.- I can't believe it. Tell me if you're all right with the speed.
0:50:08 > 0:50:11- I'm going at your speed.- Amazing.
0:50:11 > 0:50:14- I might pick up cos it's quite flat. - Yeah.
0:50:14 > 0:50:15Windsor, here we come.
0:50:17 > 0:50:20- Windsor, here we come.- Yes!
0:50:23 > 0:50:27CHEERING
0:50:28 > 0:50:30Oh, my God! That's so good!
0:50:33 > 0:50:36SHOUTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
0:50:36 > 0:50:38CHEERING
0:50:44 > 0:50:45You've been amazing.
0:50:45 > 0:50:48She's got a mental strength which is
0:50:48 > 0:50:51so extraordinary for someone who's a non-athlete.
0:50:51 > 0:50:55She's been at some very, very low points over the last week,
0:50:55 > 0:51:00but today, she's found renewed energy. It's incredible. It really is.
0:51:00 > 0:51:01True Olympic spirit.
0:51:03 > 0:51:04I'm glad!
0:51:09 > 0:51:12- NICK GRIMSHAW:- Good morning, Davina McCall!
0:51:12 > 0:51:14You're running a marathon today.
0:51:14 > 0:51:18I'm running a bit more than a marathon, actually. I'm going home.
0:51:18 > 0:51:20She's going home!
0:51:20 > 0:51:23Davina is literally changing the lives of people,
0:51:23 > 0:51:26and you can help, too. If you've been listening this week
0:51:26 > 0:51:28and been moved, and you've loved hearing from Davina,
0:51:28 > 0:51:31I know a lot of you have, just go on the website and give what you can.
0:51:31 > 0:51:34And thank you if you already have, you're amazing!
0:51:34 > 0:51:36But Davina's got mixed emotions
0:51:36 > 0:51:39as the last day of the challenge is about to start.
0:51:39 > 0:51:46I feel really sad that it's going to be over, but I'd probably do it...
0:51:46 > 0:51:50all again because I've just loved the people and the team and...
0:51:50 > 0:51:52Is that stupid?
0:51:52 > 0:51:55She's still got to get to the end, and it's still a marathon.
0:51:55 > 0:51:59For somebody who didn't start running until five weeks ago.
0:51:59 > 0:52:03The marathon will kick off from Windsor Castle, where Jo Brand
0:52:03 > 0:52:04is waiting to give her a lift.
0:52:04 > 0:52:07I'm just here to shout encouragement.
0:52:07 > 0:52:10The last bit's always the hardest. I think she's absolutely exhausted.
0:52:10 > 0:52:15I certainly would be. So anything I can do to help, I will do.
0:52:15 > 0:52:17Go on!
0:52:17 > 0:52:21- LAUGHTER - We're off! See you later.
0:52:21 > 0:52:23APPLAUSE Go!
0:52:26 > 0:52:30Right, I'm off! Ta-ra!
0:52:31 > 0:52:32Oh, hi, Jo!
0:52:32 > 0:52:34- Sorry I'm doing this.- No, I like it.
0:52:34 > 0:52:37- Oh, hello, you! - How are you? You all right?
0:52:37 > 0:52:43Let's go to the pub! I know it's only 7:30, but, you know...
0:52:43 > 0:52:46Extraordinary circumstances, and all that.
0:52:47 > 0:52:51You're going to be Dame after this, definitely. I've had a word.
0:52:51 > 0:52:54I think it's quite good, that alliteration - Dame Davina.
0:52:54 > 0:52:56Come on, Davina! You can do it!
0:52:58 > 0:53:00Come on, Davina!
0:53:00 > 0:53:02Not far to go, now.
0:53:02 > 0:53:03Waiting at the pit stop,
0:53:03 > 0:53:07there are more famous faces to help her on her way.
0:53:07 > 0:53:09We were getting so much support on the text, and so much love,
0:53:09 > 0:53:12and people speaking to her in the day on the radio were coming
0:53:12 > 0:53:14up to me in the street and being like, "We love Davina,
0:53:14 > 0:53:17"we really want to be behind her, and we really want to...
0:53:17 > 0:53:19"Send our love to her." So I thought I'd come
0:53:19 > 0:53:23and rep that love that is being passed through the radio to me.
0:53:24 > 0:53:26APPLAUSE Bye, Batman.
0:53:26 > 0:53:31And one of Davina's friends is finally going to get her away.
0:53:31 > 0:53:34I have, for the last five, six, seven years, tried to get Davina
0:53:34 > 0:53:36to come running with me and she has refused,
0:53:36 > 0:53:39always said, "I just can't run, I'd love to, but I can't run."
0:53:39 > 0:53:41And then she throws this one at me.
0:53:41 > 0:53:44CHEERING
0:53:44 > 0:53:47Amazing! Amazing! You are amazing!
0:53:47 > 0:53:50I can't imagine doing this, what Davina's doing now,
0:53:50 > 0:53:52seven days in a row, it's astonishing.
0:53:52 > 0:53:55Oh, my God! Are you kidding me?
0:53:55 > 0:53:57Davina came in and she was all, like, lively and bubbly,
0:53:57 > 0:54:00I just couldn't believe it. I'd just be dead on my feet.
0:54:00 > 0:54:02We've got 20 minutes, guys, yeah?
0:54:02 > 0:54:05But behind the scenes, Davina is in increasing pain.
0:54:05 > 0:54:07SHE GROANS AND SIGHS
0:54:07 > 0:54:12I'm always sort of strong and just trying to keep it together and...
0:54:12 > 0:54:17- Keep going.- And it's like, it's opened the floodgates, this exercise.
0:54:17 > 0:54:19It's quite intense.
0:54:19 > 0:54:21And what's intense as well is, we're almost there, mate.
0:54:21 > 0:54:25- Yeah, yeah.- 500 miles, and we've only got seven to go.
0:54:26 > 0:54:30And with a little help from her friends, Davina is digging deep.
0:54:30 > 0:54:35CHEERING
0:54:35 > 0:54:38- Do you know what my running songs were?- What?- So, I go...
0:54:38 > 0:54:43One, two, three, four.
0:54:43 > 0:54:50And then I go... One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
0:54:50 > 0:54:56ALL: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
0:54:56 > 0:55:01As they finally arrive in Central London, it's time for Sophie and
0:55:01 > 0:55:04the others to leave Davina to the final leg of this epic challenge.
0:55:08 > 0:55:10She's within just two miles of the finish line,
0:55:10 > 0:55:13where husband Matthew is waiting.
0:55:15 > 0:55:17Oh! Thanks, mate.
0:55:20 > 0:55:22Hello, Queenie!
0:55:25 > 0:55:28In a few minutes, she will run past St Paul's Cathedral,
0:55:28 > 0:55:30over the Millennium Bridge,
0:55:30 > 0:55:34to where her week-long challenge will be over.
0:55:34 > 0:55:37- She overcame the weather, which is absolutely extraordinary.- Yeah.
0:55:37 > 0:55:40Cos they threw everything that they could.
0:55:40 > 0:55:42Oh, God! My hip.
0:55:42 > 0:55:44I can do it.
0:55:44 > 0:55:46It's just uphill.
0:55:53 > 0:55:55The end is in sight.
0:55:55 > 0:55:58SHE GROANS Come on!
0:55:58 > 0:56:01Come on! Come on.
0:56:01 > 0:56:06CHEERING
0:56:29 > 0:56:33After 500 hard miles of tears, laughter,
0:56:33 > 0:56:36and sheer determination, Davina has made it.

0:57:06 > 0:57:13- I... I can't believe it was me! - It was you! It was you!
0:57:13 > 0:57:15I've just got to stop crying!
0:57:15 > 0:57:18JO LAUGHS
0:57:18 > 0:57:21She was in a lot of pain at every single step, but she's done it,
0:57:21 > 0:57:26and I knew she would. She's been just incredible, brilliant.
0:57:26 > 0:57:29MUSIC: "Happy" by Pharrell Williams
