She is the latest in a long line of broadcasters to put her body on the line in the name of charity, with the BBC Radio 2 star preparing to take on a huge physical and mental feat from Monday.

Bolton-born Sara will take on the equivalent of five marathons in five days, covering 135 miles on foot across four counties, all to raise money for Children In Need.
