In 2023, Morning Live presenter Gethin Jones danced for 24 hours straight in aid of Comic Relief. And now he's preparing for a 24-hour skating marathon on Thursday 20 March to support the same cause. But it's fair to say skating isn’t Gethin’s strong suit — in fact, it's his worst nightmare.

“Skating petrifies me,” he says, “I have no idea what I'm doing. I've never really done it before. I've been ice-skating. I got a concussion and broke my arm — twice.”
