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