Your story: “I am doing this in honour of our son Harry @verybraveboy, who passed away in November. He was our Superhero even at the age of 3. He was disabled with a rare heart condition, along with a rare brain condition (Polymicrogyria) and white matter damage. He loved watching the bright colours of the cycling in the Tour de France so would have loved watching everyone do this.”
What it feels like to win a Celebrity Team place: “I’m really honoured and so proud to be doing something with so many inspiring people.”
Which team would you most like to beat: Whoever I’m up against. I’m not very competitive (MUCH!)
Most looking forward to: “Meeting the aforementioned inspiring people and Team Captains, and doing my son’s name proud.”
Your Kryptonite: “Getting in and out of a wetsuit. (I’ve never done this and I’m sure someone who is 6'5 in a wetsuit will be a bit of a sight.)
Your Superpower: “The force behind me – Harry!!!”
