Sports Relief

A host of celebrity mums-to-be and new mums rose to the challenge on the 18th February by undertaking the first ever Bumps and Babies Mile in Battersea Park for Sport Relief. Denise Van Outen, who is expecting her first child recruited the team of pregnant celebrities and new mums to show that everyone can take part in the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile, whether you run, walk, or waddle the distance!
Denise was joined by Five News presenter Natasha Kaplinksy (who is expecting her second child), BBC Radio 6 DJ Nemone and her seven-month-old daughter Ella, Carly Zucker (wife of Chelsea’s Joe Cole), actor Kim Medcalf, and Olympic medal winning Badminton player Gail Emms, all of whom are expecting their first babies in the next couple of months.
Denise recruited the group with the aim of encouraging the nation to rise to their own challenge and get sponsored to take part in the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile taking place at 16 Flagship Mile events across the UK on Sunday 21st March. Enter now at www.sportrelief.com.
Denise says: “It’s brilliant that these five lovely ladies have agreed to undertake the Bumps and Babies Mile, with all five bumps and one baby in tow. A group of heavily pregnant women and power pramming mums waddling around Battersea Park will probably be quite amusing, but it will prove that anyone and everyone can join in the fun and rise to the challenge by getting sponsored to do the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile.
