However Nick did not cycle alone, as he was joined by a variety of stars throughout the day including Victoria Pendleton and Amir Khan. Davina McCall-who has recently completed her own 7 day challenge for sports relief- was their to support Nick and offer words of encouragement.
Actor Danny Dyer and rappers Professor Green and Wretch 32 also completed 30 minute cycles with the radio DJ.Commenting on his ordeal, Grimshaw tweeted: “Aaarghhhh my arse!!!!! @sportrelief”
He added: “Thank you to everyone who’s been texting in, it’s a big deal, it’s a lot of money, and it will change lives.
