Former EastEnders star Jake Wood is performing alongside Cheryl after pulling out of the London Marathon due to ill health.
Two days before the race, the 50-year-old took to his social media to explain his bad chest infection meant he couldn't compete.
The star, who played Max Branning in the soap, was due to take part in the race today in memory of his late co-star Barbara Windsor alongside a string of his former fellow cast mates.
