Radio 1’s Greg James has proven his pedal power is mightier than the microphone, completing a grueling eight-day journey that raised over £4 million for Comic Relief. The host conquered a staggering 1,000km on a tandem bike, cycling the equivalent distance from Land's End to John o' Groats while carrying a rotating cast of celebrity guests.

Braving physical exhaustion, James’s relentless energy inspired the nation to dig deep. The 'Greg-athlon' saw thousands donate to watch the DJ tackle the punishing route, securing a life-changing sum for charity. This incredible feat not only tested his endurance but united listeners in a spectacular celebration of generosity.
