Jamie Laing issues update on day two of gruelling Ultra Marathon challenge after raising a staggering £80K for Comic Relief

Jamie Laing gave an update on Tuesday as he set off on day two of his gruelling Ultra Marathons challenge for Comic Relief. 

The BBC Radio 1 presenter, 36, admitted he has faced a ‘rollercoaster of emotions’ over the last 24 hours after completing his first 30 mile run on Monday. 

Jamie is taking on five Ultra Marathons in five days – a total of 150 miles – he aims to finish in Salford, Manchester on Friday, March 21.

Ahead of setting off on day two, Jamie revealed that his ‘body is beyond tired and sore’ and he has prepared by covering himself in Vaseline after suffering from ‘really bad chafing’. 

He is set to run 30.4 miles from Wyboston to Kettering and as Jamie kickstarted his day it was revealed that he has already raised a staggering £80,000.

He said: ‘I just want to say thank you to literally every single person who’s donated. Honestly it just makes me want to keep running. The best news I could possible hear. You guys are all amazing!’

Jamie continued: ‘I’m sore, I’m tired, and I need to have a new bum!’

He added while making a quick appearance on Morning Live: ‘Guys I’m feeling pretty broken. If I look fresh, I don’t feel that fresh!

‘I thought it was going to be bad, but it’s 100 percent worse than I thought it was going to be. But the people honking their horns and coming out and donating has been incredible.’

In a video shared to Instagram, the Candy Kitten founder said ahead of starting day two: ‘Hey guys it’s me Jamie here, I’ve just finished my first ultra marathon, 50 kilometers over 30 miles. 

‘It was pretty insane if I’m being honest, but if I’m being honest its you guys who are getting me through it.’

The former Made In Chelsea star added: ‘I just don’t know if my legs are ready for it, I am absolutely s***ing myself. 

‘I’m about to Vaseline up because I had really bad chaffing in the worst place possible. My body is beyond tired and sore but we’ve got this.’

Jamie has set expectations high after completing day one of the ultra marathon in an impressive 5hours and 44minutes and burned over 4,000 calories. 

The charity challenge comes days after Jamie revealed he had been robbed again, just a week after his West London home was nearly burgled.

Jamie and his wife Sophie Habboo, 30, were woken up at 6am to loud bangs as balaclava-wearing intruders tried to break into their home.

Following the terrifying ordeal, Jamie was subjected to another attempted robbery as someone broke into his car outside his home.

Speaking on his Radio 1 show, Jamie said: ‘So, I live in London, I was with my wife Sophie and we went to get in our car. 

‘It’s parked around the place we live, and it’s London right, things maybe go missing occasionally or whatever.

‘I walked up to the car, and the car looked a little bit funny, the door was slightly open, and I was like, “hang on a second, has someone managed to get into the car?” 

‘Came up to the car and we had been robbed.

‘They left the pineapple in one seat and the melon in another seat. 

‘I said to my wife, “did you leave these in the car?” and she was like, “no?”, so I don’t know if it’s a sign or the mark they leave.’

The Made In Chelsea stars used to rent in Chelsea before moving out of the area after buying a family home in Notting Hill last year.

Speaking about their home invasion on their Newly Weds podcast, Jamie admitted he was ‘ʙuтт naked’ when he heard loud noises and leapt into action. 

‘At 5:45 am, I heard this boom, boom, boom, and I was like, “What the hell is that?”‘ he said. ‘Sophie was still fast asleep next to me. So I got up, completely naked, and went downstairs to check.

‘I looked out the front of our apartment – nothing. No delivery, no people, completely dark. But then I went to our sitting room and looked out the window.

‘I always sleep with the window open, and I suddenly saw someone trying to break into the flat below, wearing a balaclava. 

‘I thought I would go full Rambo mode, but instead, I just panicked and started going, ‘Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!’

Jamie quickly called the police, to which he added: ‘I asked them how long the response time was, if we needed to get out of the house. 

‘I was freaking out. I even went downstairs and lay down against our front door, using my whole body as a human door wedge.’
