Comedian Eddie Izzard has today completed his amazing 700-mile Sport Relief challenge and described running 27 marathons in 27 days as the 'hardest thing he's ever done'.
The 54-year-old finished his gruelling challenge under a giant statue of Nelson Mandela in Johannesburg, South Africa, this afternoon after completing a whopping two marathons in one day.
After crossing the line to cheers, applause and chants of 'Eddie, Eddie, Eddie', the comic swigged champagne from the bottle in celebration at completing the 707-mile challenge in blistering heat.
I'm no particular fan of Izzard, but this is a rather stunning accomplishment. And raising something like 1.6 million dollars for charity.
Seriously, I'd get tired driving 26 miles a day.
