Celebrity London Marathon finishing times: Spencer Matthews, Harry Judd, Adele Roberts and Jake Quickenden come out on top with incredible results

Daily Mail​27-04-2025

A host of stars ran the London Marathon on Sunday - with many achieving incredible times.
Spencer Matthews came out on top when it came to the celebrities putting in their best efforts - with an astonishing time of three hours and six minutes.
McFly star Harry Judd came in close second at three hours and fifteen minutes, while Jake Quickenden came in at an impressive three hours and 33 minutes.
Adele Roberts put in an incredible effort with a finishing time of three hours 36 minutes while Love Island's Casey O'Gorman managed three hours and 41 minutes.
At the other end of the scale was former footballer John Terry - who was left with painful bleeding nipples during the run. He ran it in five hours and 43 seconds.
While Kelly Brook who ran with her husband Jeremy Parisi managed a respectable six hours and 42 minutes.
McFly star Harry Judd came in close second at three hours and fifteen minutes
Joel Dommett - who passed out at mile 17 - managed to finish the run in six hours and three minutes.
EastEnders star Adam Woodyatt managed five hours 17 minutes while Joe Sugg did it in four hours and eight minutes.
Made In Chelsea star Jazz Saunders did it in four hours and seven minutes and was greeted by her girlfriend Demi Sims at the end
BrewDog's James Watt did it in four hours and 30 minutes and was supported by his wife Georgia Toffolo while Chris Evans managed a time of four hours and 28 minutes.
John Terry looked exhausted as he was pictured with bleeding nipples at the event.
The 44-year-old's white gym top was covered with blood stains due to the friction of his clothes rubbing against his chest, which often happens to male runners.
Terry was one of five former Premier League stars to run the London Marathon.
Meanwhile, red-faced Kelly appeared completely worn out as she took a breather alongside husband Jeremy.
Jake Quickenden came in at an impressive three hours and 33 minutes and enjoyed a pint afterwards
Joining the thousands of runners struggling in the 20 degree heat in the city, Joel received a helping hand from two people after finishing the race.
A record number of people applied for this year's marathon, with more than 840,000 applications received for the iconic 26 mile trek around the capital.
And among those on the starting line on Sunday were Harry and Adel e, who all took to their social media ahead of the race to voice both their excitement and nerves.
Joel floored fans on Saturday after revealing his exhausting schedule prior to the marathon itself.
The comedian, 39, revealed his journey to the finish line actually began the afternoon before when he set off from his house in South West London.
He proceeded to travel to Leeds for a comedy show before driving two and a half hours to Cambridge for the night.
Joel had a brief six and a half hours sleep - with the assumption that he slept straight away on arriving in Cambridge - before getting up again at half 6 on Sunday and leaving his hotel at 6:45 to travel to Greenwich roundabout.
His schedule, written out precisely on a white board and shared on Instagram, doesn't end there as he then undertook a half an hour warmup run as he made his way to the starting line ahead of the marathon.
Joining Joel on the run was McFly star Harry, who is running to raise funds for the Children's Trust.
Like Joel, he took to his social media on Saturday to share a snap of his running gear laid out, complete with vest, trainers, watch and energy gel sachets, but left fans amused after forgetting to include a photo of any bottoms.
On Instagram, the singer clarified he would indeed be wearing shorts, writing: 'I forgot to post my shorts. It is going to be hot but I am wearing shorts!'
He added that he had spent Saturday loading up on carbohydrates in preparation and added: 'Hopefully I'll get a good night's sleep. Wish me luck'.
Come Sunday morning however, Harry shared a photo of him on the bus on his way and wrote: 'I'm on the @newbalancerunning bus to go to the start line. Had some pretty hectic dreams about being late!'
He then joined with Joel and Spencer Matthews ahead of the race, with the trio looking raring to go in their sports vests and sunglasses, captioned: 'Here we go!'
Presumably more relaxed than the others after running an astonishing 30 marathons in 30 days in the Jordanian desert last year, Spencer also took to his Instagram to share a selfie before the race.
Raising a determined fist up in the air, he wrote: 'Good luck everyone... Have fun'.
After the run, Spencer returned to Instagram to share his impressive time of just three hours, seven minutes and 25 seconds.
'I came out a little too hard and lost pace towards the end but learnt a lot from the experience and will be coming for that 'Sub 3' later this year,' he wrote.
'The event was even more awesome than anticipated. The crowd were UNBELIEVABLE and the support throughout was felt and appreciated. You really picked me up through the tougher times. Thank you!
'Congratulations to all who ran today. Phenomenal stuff.'
Meanwhile, pregnant singer Jesy cheered on her boyfriend Zion Foster from her hospital bed in an emotional post on Sunday morning.
The Little Mix star, 34, has been in hospital since late March after being diagnosed with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) - a rare condition that can put one or both babies at risk.
Earlier this month, she had to undergo an emergency procedure due to complications and has been advised to remain in hospital until she reaches a certain number of weeks in her pregnancy, as there are concerns she could go into early labour.
However, she made sure to still show her support for Zion, who was running to raise funds for the Twins Trust charity which supports parents of multiples as well as improving maternity care and research.

On Monday, Cain opened up to John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth), Nate's actual murderer, and said that he really wants to grieve for his son, but Tracy's ongoing theory that he's a killer is getting in his way. Feeling the tiniest bit sorry for him, John decided to form a plan, and it involved framing Tracy. The police arrived at her house first thing and announced they had a warrant to search the premises. As Tracy's home was turned upside down, the police then made an alarming discovery. Hiding in Frankie's playhouse was Nate's phone. The detective in charge already knows that Nate's phone has been switched on near the village, suggesting the person who killed him lives there. This certainly didn't look good. In order to officially question Tracy, the detective took her to the station. More Trending There, Tracy protested her innocence and grew increasingly frustrated at the fact she wasn't listened to.

Maya Jama's boyfriend Ruben Dias flies out to Love Island to take her on romantic date

MAYA Jama's boyfriend Rúben Dias has jetted out to Love Island's Mallorca base for a romantic date night. The ITV2 host, 30, and Manchester City ace Rúben, 27, have been dating since the end of last year. 7 7 7 She met the defender in September at the MTV Europe Music Awards, two months after announcing her split from rapper Stormzy. The couple's relationship is going from strength to strength and now he has headed to the holiday resort for a swanky dinner. Maya captured herself travelling in a car before she danced around to a tune on the radio in the passenger seat. She looked glam for her night out, styling her raven locks into waves and opting for fresh make up, with statement earrings to accessorise. In the swanky restaurant, she captured a server chopping up steak tartre and wrote in her caption: "Only just got into this raw s***. "Still bugs me out." Another slide then saw her about to tuck into a more well-done steak, served up with tomatoes and chips. Their happy night came after the first beauty booted out from the 2025 ITV2 matchmaking series came to light, in what was a busy night for Maya. The Love Island anchor and Ruben were spotted for the first time together in public on New Year's Eve, when they shared another romantic dinner. A source at the time said: 'Maya and Ruben swapped details at the EMAs and have chatted since, but things went up a gear in early December. 'When Ruben got injured and had to miss the congested new year fixtures, he jumped at the chance to see in 2025 with Maya in Spain. ROMEO RUBEN Ruben is no stranger to romantic displays. In April, Maya returned home to a bouquet of roses following a recent holiday. Maya added no caption to the image slide, simply holding the red blooms up to the camera. Maya Jama and Stormzy's relationship timeline 2016 - Stormzy and Maya Jama first got together when she was 20 and the couple quickly won over the hearts of the public. 2018 - The couple moved in together in southwest London with the dog they shared, Enzo. 2019 – They announced their split after a four year romance. 2021 – Maya meets and gets engaged to basketball player Ben Simmons.

July, 2024 – Maya and Stormzy announce their split And it's not the first time she's been treated to an impressive floral selection as back in January, the former Radio 1 DJ showcased another selection of roses with fans claiming "they're from Ruben." NEXT STEPS The Sun was recently first to report how t he loved-up pair were getting serious, and had taken their relationship to the next level. A source said: 'Maya and Rúben are getting more serious and she has met his mum Bernadette. 'She is very happy and in a great place in her personal life and her career. "It's shaping up to be a very exciting year for Maya.' She also shared her first picture with her footballer man as they enjoyed a pre Love Island break in Italy. Earlier in the week, Maya uploaded a short clip and wrote: "perv cam," as Ruben could be seen rubbing sun tan lotion on his body while in swimming shorts. Recently, it was also revealed Maya has started taking Portuguese lessons. Speaking about her take on relationships previously, Maya said: 'I'm such a lover but I am a big leaver as well. 'I know what makes me happy and I know what I like — and this is no disrespect to anyone I've been in a relationship with, but if it's not that then I will leave it. 'I only want you if you are going to add to that or make it better, otherwise I am not really on it.' 7 7 7 7

Original Big Brother stars now from Nasty Nick's very different new life to huge business success

From yoga retreats to consulting firms, the ex-housemates from the first-ever Big Brother have led very different lives since the show ended. Back in the summer of 2000, British TV changed forever when 10 strangers walked into a house in Bow, East London, and let the nation watch their every move. Big Brother Series One was a cultural reset - long before memes, Love Island or TikTok, this was the show that got the nation talking and getting together to vote. ‌ With just one eviction a week, Friday night live shows, and no outside communication, Big Brother 1 made Craig, Anna, Melanie, and of course, 'Nasty Nick' household names in the pre-social media age. ‌ But what became of the OG housemates after the cameras stopped rolling? Here's what the Class of 2000 are up to now - from building empires and raising families to escaping to Argentina for a quieter life. Craig Phillips He entered the house as a builder from Liverpool, but walked out of Big Brother as the UK's very first winner. Just days after pocketing the £70,000 prize money, he made headlines by donating the lot to his friend Joanne Harris, who needed a life-saving heart and lung transplant. Within six days of his win, the target was met thanks to a national outpouring of generosity and celebrity backing. Post-BB, Craig carved out a niche as a DIY expert, fronting dozens of home makeover shows like 60 Minute Makeover, Trading Up, and Big Strong Boys. In 2000, he even released a charity single 'At This Time of Year', which hit No.14 in the UK charts and raised over £40,000 for the Down's Syndrome Association. ‌ He went on to launch a production company, Avent Productions, and became a familiar face on Discovery Realtime and the Forces Broadcasting Service. In more recent years, Craig and his wife Laura run the successful Mr and Mrs DIY YouTube channel, helping fans tackle home improvements with a smile. They married in 2018, have two children, and appeared on Millionaire Age Gap Love in 2020. Anna Nolan ‌ A lesbian ex-nun wasn't your average reality show contestant in 2000 - and that's exactly why Anna Nolan stood out. She finished as runner-up and quickly became known for her calm presence in the house, often mediating during tense moments (including Nick's downfall). After Big Brother, Anna transitioned into broadcasting - presenting BBC series like Anna in Wonderland and Closure, before heading back to Ireland where she co-hosted The Afternoon Show on RTÉ for three years. She's fronted everything from paranormal documentaries to food shows. Behind the scenes, Anna built a strong career as a producer and development executive. ‌ She helmed shows like Room To Improve, Operation Transformation, and The Great Irish Bake Off, and as of 2024, she's Head of Development at COCO Content, producing major TV events. Darren Ramsay Third-place finalist Darren Ramsay brought quiet charm and earnestness to the Big Brother house - but after the show, he largely retreated from the limelight. ‌ He popped up on shows like Good Food Live and The Weakest Link, and even trained as a flight attendant for TV show Airline - though he was asked to leave before qualifying. Today Darren lives a relatively private life, working a 9-5 job at a research company. Melanie Hill Mel was one of the most talked-about contestants in the house - and not just because of that romance with fellow housemate Tom. She left the show and immediately dived into journalism, writing for The Guardian and fronting E4 series Chained. ‌ But her experience wasn't all glitz. In a 2002 open letter titled 'How Big Brother Destroyed My Life', Mel spoke candidly about the media scrutiny and public harassment she endured. She later urged women not to audition for the show, revealing the mental toll of sudden fame. She went on to become a marketing director, and today, Mel is a mum to son Otis, who she shares with her partner Glenn. Tom McDermott ‌ Tom's time in the house is probably best remembered for his relationship with Claire Strutton - the first Big Brother lovebirds. The pair had a son, Pierce, in 2001 and even moved to Marbella to run a property website together. They split in 2004, and Tom eventually returned to the UK where he now runs his own property business in Cornwall. ‌ Claire Strutton Once dubbed the house flirt, Claire has since become a successful entrepreneur. She's now married to businessman Ian Radford and the couple own a luxury beach resort in Marbella, along with a string of popular nightclubs in Gibraltar and Essex. Andy Davidson Andy was the second housemate evicted, but not before sharing a much-talked-about kiss with Melanie. He's long since swapped reality TV for the boardroom, working as Head of Client Strategy at Flamingo, a brand and insight consultancy in London. Caroline O'Shea ‌ Caroline brought plenty of sass and humour to the house, but her post-BB journey has been more unpredictable. It is said she returned to selling adult toys, briefly pursued a music career, and even posed for topless modelling offers. She has occasionally appeared in reality TV specials, including The Weakest Link and The Only Way Is Essex. She also tried her hand at acting and remains active on casting websites. Nichola Holt ‌ Nichola was known for her artistic streak and catchphrase 'It's just the game!' She released a dance single by that very name, though it only reached number 72 in the charts. She later married personal trainer Yas Parr in a swimsuit and sarong on a Mexican beach, but the couple split after 18 months. Now in her late 40s, Nichola lives in Bolton with her daughter and keeps a low profile away from the spotlight. Sada Walkington ‌ The first person ever evicted from Big Brother UK, Sada has embraced a very different path. She moved to Argentina, became a yoga instructor, and is raising twins, Indigo and Padma, born in 2005. She has publicly criticised the way she was edited on the show, claiming producers turned her into a 'dippy hippie' caricature. Her quiet new life abroad is a far cry from the frenzy of the Big Brother house - and it seems just how she likes it. Nick Bateman (Nasty Nick) Nick Bateman made TV history by trying to manipulate the nominations - and was famously confronted by Craig in what remains one of the most iconic live showdowns in British television. Since then, Nick has lived a much more low-key life. He popped up in a few reality specials, including Ultimate Big Brother, but nowadays lives in Australia and has left his reality TV past firmly behind him.
