BBC Radio 1 star Jamie Laing had fans worried during the fifth day of Comic Relief's Marathon after the ex Reality star collapsed from exhaustion.
Jamie, 36, chose to participate in the ultimate challenge - Radio 1's Ultra Marathon Man with Jamie Laing - in an exhausting effort to fundraise for Comic Relief on Red Nose Day. Stretching over five whole days, the social media star set out with an ambitious goal: to run over 150 miles from London to Salford, Manchester. The intention alone impressed the thousands of fans amassed from Laing's TikTok videos, podcasts Great Company and Newly-Weds (which he hosts with wife Sophie Habboo) and his time on the legendary Reality TV show, Made In Chelsea - to which he and Sophie are most known for.

The Candy Kittens founder, however, faltered at a pit stop on day five. Today, Laing was seen crumbling from exhaustion at Whaley Bridge Bowls Club in Derbyshire. His recent vlogs, featuring wife Sophie, have shared how exhausted the runner from the challenge, only to be met with the floor (physically) as he fell to the ground and threw up in front of fans, who were there to cheer him on.
Comforted by Sophie, cried out: "I'm a broken man," as he vomited. The star also shared his fears at having broken his foot during the last leg of the colossal run, with pictures capturing what appeared to be Laing in a dire state of medical assistance.
Habboo, 30, and Made In Chelsea friend Oliver Proudlock, 36, were able to raise Jamie's spirits and cheer him on enough to push through the final length of his cross-country run. The news of how much he had raised so far - a whopping £500,000 - was the final shove the star needed to return to challenge. Once completing the insane achievement, Jamie remarked that it was "the hardest thing [he'd] ever done in [his] life, hands down" and that there he had real doubts right at the beginning of making it.
"There was a point where we were about halfway, 25 kilometres, in and I didn't think I had it. That was it. I was done," said the marathon runner.

He said: "I couldn't believe it. Everything is quite overwhelming at the moment - I'm a broken man right now and although my body is seizing up and I'm mentally drained and scared about tomorrow, somehow it is still a good feeling. We go again".
