Zoe Ball sits in and chats to Helen Skelton

Zoe Ball sits in for Chris and catches up with Helen Skelton who, with the help of the public, is tackling seven fundraising challenges for Comic Relief 2013.

Zoe Ball catches up with Helen Skelton who, with the help of the public, is tackling seven fundraising challenges around the UK for Comic Relief.

A Blue Peter presenter since 2008, Helen is no stranger to a fundraising challenge. In 2010 she kayaked 2,010 miles down the Amazon; in 2011 she walked a 66m high, 150m long high wire between the towers of Battersea Power Station; and in 2012 she travelled 500 miles across the Antarctic to the South Pole by ski, kite and bike.

This year, she's already attempted to kick a conversion at Twickenham in front of tens of thousands of rugby fans; appeared in two West End musicals on the same night; flown a Red Arrows jet; directed a photoshoot for the Radio Times; and you can find out about her latest challenge this morning!

Red Nose Day 2013 takes place on Friday 15th March. And in the run-up we're celebrating the best in comedy here on 麻豆社 Radio 2.
