Celebs out for Sport Relief mile

Stars from the world of TV and music joined the 165,000 runners who braved the Sport Relief mile run.
Celebrities including singer Beverley Knight, DJ Norman Cook and comedian Patrick Kielty turned out to support the charity event along with eager runners in an array of unusual outfits.
Other famous faces who took part along the Thames included model Jodie Kidd, TV presenter Ben Fogle, rower James Cracknell and comedian Eddie Izzard.
A clutch of soap stars battled it out in their own race, won by Hollyoaks actor Anthony Quinlan.
Emmerdale, Coronation Street, Hollyoaks and EastEnders each entered teams of two cast members.
Anthony, who plays Gilly Roach in the Channel 4 show, said afterwards: "It's always great being No 1 but I think the Corrie team were the overall winners.
"I suppose we can live with it, but only just, mind."
