Amanda Holden's Charity Ride Faces Weather Challenges

Amanda Holden is undertaking a 250-mile charity bike ride from Cornwall to London to raise funds for Global's Make Some Noise, despite facing challenging weather. The 53-year-old radio and TV star has been using 'bum butter' and padded gussets to prevent saddle sores, humorously noting the various types she has been gifted by friends. She anticipates burning 15,000 calories a day and jokes about becoming as fit as Davina McCall by the end of her journey. Amanda has been buoyed by significant support, including a £100,000 donation from the creators of 'The Wild Robot'. Throughout the ride, she has been sharing updates on her progress, including the biblical weather and the unexpected aches she is experiencing. Despite the difficulties, Holden remains in high spirits, encouraged by honks from passing motorists and cheers from the public.
