BBC Morning Live Gethin Jones 'in absolute bits' as he shares update following 24-hour challenge

Gethin Jones admitted he was left "in absolute bits" following his 24-hour dancing challenge to raise money for Comic Relief. The Welsh presenter's hugely ambitious task began during BBC Morning Live on the morning of Thursday, March 16, and continued in the studio throughout the day and night, finishing at 10am on Friday, March 17.

Called Gethin Keeps Dancing, the broadcast saw the host joined by many celebrities, including Strictly Come Dancing's Amy Dowden and The One Show's Alex Jones. For his final few hours, Gethin was joined by Countryfile's Helen Skelton who admitted she was emotional as a "broken" Gethin continued to dance. You can read more on this here.

Returning to Morning Live on Monday, March 20, Gethin admitted he was "in absolute bits" the day following the 24-hour dance task. Asked by his co-host Kym Marsh how he was feeling, the 45-year-old said: "I was in absolute bits on Saturday morning, trying to get down the stairs was quite something, I had to come down backward, it took about half an hour in the end but it was fine, I didn't mind the pain."
