Teen walking 100km alongside Giovanna Fletcher for her grandma

I'm a Celebrity winner Giovanna Fletcher is set to complete a sponsored walk alongside an Ormskirk student to raise money for breast cancer.

Emilia McRobie, a education and English student, is preparing to walk 100 kilometres along the Pembrokeshire Coast this June as part of a fundraiser with the star. The 19-year-old is completing the five-day trek to raise awareness of how important early detection in cancer is, something she knows too well.

The Edge Hill University student's grandmother, Linda Parker, was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 65-years-old in 2014.
