While admitted she'd done 'zero preparation' for it, Vicky Pattison will embark on a 26 mile trek this weekend, in honour of her grandad David, who died earlier this year after a battle with dementia.
Vicky, who recently won widespread praise for her candid Channel 4 documentary My Dad, Alcohol and Me, appeared as studio guest on Thursday's Loose Women where, as well as speaking about some of the lessons she learnt about herself from doing the documentary, outlined her plans to do her grandad proud with the marathon mission.
Remembering her grandad, former Geordie Shore and I'm A Celebrity star Vicky said: "Such a lovely man. My grandad was the most amazing person; so active, so physically fit; couldn't do enough for us, a proper family man, us and his wife Mavis, we were just everything to him."
