ELLE Style Awards host Nick Grimshaw is cycling for 12 hours today in a bid to raise money for Sport Relief. The Radio 1 Breakfast Show presenter aims to cover 1,000 miles with the help of other celebrities on bikes beside him in a Perspex box.

The challenge started at 7am today outside BBC Broadcasting House. Friends of Grimmers are also taking part by cycling alongside him, including Olympic athlete Victoria Pendleton, fellow Radio 1 presenter Fearne Cotton, and model Pixie Geldof.
