TV presenter Davina McCall rode 100km on her bike through the Sussex countryside in aid of charity.

The ride on Saturday raised about £60,000 for Action DIVA Sussex.

A spokeswoman from the charity said: “Davina completed the longest ride route, 100km, despite having a heavy cold.

“This is the third year Davina has cycled to raise funds for Action Medical Research, a charity she has supported since she was a child.”

Davina said: “It’s a beautiful route through some of the most amazing Sussex countryside.

“Women of all shapes, sizes and abilities take part and Action Medical Research provides great support for all riders.”

Money raised by riders for Action DIVA Sussex will help to fund medical research into conditions affecting babies and children.

The charity is currently supporting work around meningitis, Down’s Syndrome, epilepsy and premature birth.
