David Walliams will be joining James Cracknell on the final leg of his incredible Cross-Continent Challenge as the Olympic gold-medallist bravely attempts to travel from the UK to Africa using only his own body strength in aid of Sport Relief.

Before linking up with the Little Britain star to swim a gruelling 12 miles across the treacherous Strait of Gibraltar, Cracknell will already have rowed the English Channel and cycled more than 1395 miles through France and Spain in this epic trip which begins at the end of February.
