Through Hell and High Water
Dara O'Briain, Jack Dee, Chelsee Healey, Greg James, Mel C and Philips Idowu sail the crocodile-infested rapids of the Zambezi river in Comic Relief's toughest challenge to date.
Sporty Spice Mel C, comedian Jack Dee, actress Chelsee Healey, television host Dara O'Briain, Radio 1 DJ Greg James and world champion triple jumper Philips Idowu face the toughest Comic Relief challenge to date. They spend five days taking on one of Africa's mightiest rivers, the Zambezi.
Daunting, testing and genuinely dangerous this challenge will see the celebrities face raging rapids, crocodile-infested waters, near-death experiences, emotional school visits and marauding hippos as they go through 'Hell and High Water'. The six celebrities face some of their darkest moments and share their heart wrenching experience, all to raise funds to help educate some of the poorest children on the planet.
