David Walliams completes Sport Relief Thames swim

David Walliams has completed his swim across the River Thames, raising over £1 million for Sport Relief.
The Little Britain comedian made it 140 miles across the London river in eight days, finishing under Westminster Bridge.
Walliams's achievement comes despite catching a stomach bug last Thursday, which caused him severe vomiting and diarrhoea, after swallowing some of the river's water.

During the challenge, the Come Fly with Me star also rescued a struggling Labrador at the weekend.
Speaking on The One Show after his victory, Walliams said: "I'm okay, I'm a bit tired. [I feel] incredible relief, because I must say I'm over swimming. I feel like I've done enough swimming for one lifetime.
"There was a lot against me, and the water was a lot colder than we expected, and getting ill was just the worse because when you're feeling sick the last thing you want to do is exercise.
"That was really low because it got to me mentally as well. I lost my mojo completely - it was really tough."

Paying tribute to the comic, Barbara Windsor said: "It's so emotional, we were so scared. He's such a great, great guy - he says it's the only thing he's good at but I wouldn't really say that.
"We've called him the nation's sweetheart because of what he's done. The drama's been great too, being ill and rescuing the dog - in the greatest part of London. Everybody's so for him - it's what we need lately."

Walliams to swim Thames for charity

Little Britain star David Walliams will brave raw sewage and deadly diseases to raise money for Sport Relief by swimming the entire length of the Thames.
The comedian and panel show host will set off from Lechlade in Gloucestershire and will swim 140 miles over eight days to reach Big Ben in London.

Walliams' epic swim will also see him brave bitingly cold river water, which can cause cramp and involuntary breathing spasms known as a "gasp reflex".
He will battle powerful and unpredictable currents and undertows and will burn the equivalent of 4,400 calories every day.
As well as carefully navigating the busy river traffic, Walliams will have to deal with murky water that harbours a cocktail of bacteria such as E.coli, salmonella and hepatitis. He will also have to avoid the 39 million cubic metres of raw sewage that finds its way into the Thames every year after heavy rainfall.
The comedian said: "Most people in the UK know the Thames, and most people think the idea of swimming in it is horrifying. And it is. It'll be relentless. It's a huge distance so I'll need all the support I can get.
"It's really not a safe environment to swim in - people really mustn't try this, I have an incredible team of experts to help keep me safe. If there's a lot of rainfall there'll be a lot of sewage present so I've had to have loads of jabs.
"And aside from anything else, you can't see anything. There's zero visibility in the water - I won't even be able to see the end of my arm."
The BT Sport Relief Challenge: Walliams vs The Thames, which begins on September 5, will be filmed for a documentary to be broadcast in the build up to the Sport Relief Weekend in March next year.
Walliams is no stranger to getting wet for a good cause - in 2006 he swam the Channel, raising £1 million in aid of Sports Relief.
