TV presenter prepares to ski across the Channel
Comments |
All eyes will be on Dover during the next few days
as television presenter Christine Bleakley makes final preparations
for her attempt to water-ski across the English Channel.
She had been due to set off from Dover Harbour on Wednesday
March 10, but the attempt was delayed for at least 24 hours.
Viewers of the popular BBC 1 television programme The One Show,
which Christine presents with Adrian Chiles, have been following
her exploits as she prepares for the crossing in aid of Sport
Relief. She hopes to raise thousands of pounds for the charity.
Trained by Professor Greg Whyte, who also trained David Walliams
for his Channel swim, Christine has already made one visit to Dover
to see the conditions for herself, travelling across to Calais by
ferry.
The night before the ski attempt takes place, The One Show is
due to be broadcast from the Sea Sports Centre on Dover
seafront.
