Reality star Sophie Habboo has said her husband Jaime Laing told her âevery dayâ that he could not complete a 150-plus mile run for Comic Relief.
BBC Radio 1 presenter Laing, 36, raised more than ÂŁ2 million during his Ultra Marathon Man challenge that saw him do consecutive marathons from Londonâs Broadcasting House to Media City in Salford over the space of five days.
Habboo, who tied the knot with her fellow former Made In Chelsea star in 2023, was there to meet him at the finish line.
On Saturday, the 30-year-old wrote on Instagram: âMy hero, that I now get to share with the world.
âYour bravery, honesty, vulnerability and kindness are all things I see in you everyday but now everyone else gets to see that side of you too and I couldnât be more proud.
âDespite you telling me every day that you couldnât do it, and despite every part of me wanting to tell you to stop, I knew you would complete it because once you put your mind to something you donât give up, and you didnât give up.
âYou said that you did this for all the people who suffer daily from mental health, who donât believe in themselves, who donât love themselves, well, in your own words you have just proven that âyou are stronger than you think, you are braver than you are and you can achieve anything if you put your mind to itâ. I love you so much and am forever proud of you.â
Laing previously said he was dedicating the challenge to those who might be suffering, especially from their mental health, referencing his own challenges dealing with âcrippling anxietyâ in his 20s.
On the final day of the challenge, Radio 1 presenter Greg James ran alongside him in a wedding dress after their stationâs listeners helped to get Laingâs total over the ÂŁ500,000 mark.
The run raised ÂŁ2,007,114, according to a shared social media post from BBC Radio 1 and Comic Relief on Friday.
Laing wrote on Instagram: âThat was a wild ride.â
Red Nose Day, which raises vital funds for causes across the UK, was hosted by presenters Davina McCall, Joel Dommett, Alison Hammond, Rylan Clark, Jonathan Ross and Alesha Dixon.
The night of comedy included sketches from some of the biggest shows on the BBC including Strictly Come Dancing, Gladiators and Beyond Paradise.
