TV star Martin Roberts is driving 26 hours to get important supplies to Ukraine as fans have pleaded with the Homes Under The Hammer presenter to stay safe.
The exhausted-looking TV star shared a video with social media followers on Saturday night he stopped at a service station after taking ferry from Dover to Calais and onwards through France, Belgium and The Netherlands as he headed for Germany.
The host of the BBC daytime show had planned to keep driving with his 'precious cargo' but admitted he was feeling 'so tired' so was going to stop and check into a hotel and continue his journey in the morning.

@JaneFlora10 pleaded: "Please take care of yourself. The people of Ukraine needs you and your cargo to arrive in one piece.
"Thank you for your selflessness. Safe travels."
@Lisa75Lisa75 told him: "Get some rest Martin, you need to look after yourself if you want to help others x"
And @BeachyJoanne tweeted: "Thinking of you Martin, keep safe and you should definitely rest up tonight."
The 58-year-old star from Warrington, who is driving from the UK to the Poland/Ukraine border with supplies, updated followers again after grabbing a few hours sleep as he braced himself for another 13 to 16 hour drive across Germany and Poland to help those affected by Russian president Vladimir Putin's attack on Ukraine.
Martin, who last week broke down after being denied Calpol in bulk at a branch of CostCo, asked fans for song choices to get him through the long drive.
He said that as well as lots of music on the stereo, he was fuelled on the journey by 'lots of wine gums' and 'bits of Red Bull.'
He said he feels a 'massive responsibility' to safely deliver the supplies.
"I’ve managed a few hours sleep and yeah, it’s a really tough day today, it’s another 13 hours on the road," he said.
lauraweefeet messaged: "Martin, you’re a legend!"
ast__tt urged: "Please drive safe."
racymal63 said: "Well done to you stay safe."
suzyjones60 told him: "Well done you you are amazing make sure you stop off somewhere for a shower and good sleep you will feel much better be safe."
plumcobbler praised: "Thank you for doing so, so much to help the people of Ukraine. You have a good heart, Martin.
"Please travel safely and take rest breaks when you need them. GOOD LUCK! x"
