Davina in tears as final leg of 800km challenge looms

Emotional Davina McCall broke down in tears once more today as she prepared to set off on the final leg of her arduous physical challenge and said: “I don’t think I have ever cried this much.”

McCall, 46, has a full marathon distance to complete to round off her 500-mile (805km) journey under her own steam from Edinburgh to London and has been physically drained by the experience.
