THIS Morning presenter Fern Britton joined the High Wycombe Cycling Club for a 65-mile race bright and early on Sunday morning.

The TV star, who is married to celebrity chef Phil Vickery, joined the club to get fit for her upcoming charity challenge.

Fern is set to ride across Egypt, being pursued by a This Morning film crew, to raise money for charity.

Around 100 cyclists joined Fern on the race, which set off from Naphill Village Hall at 8am, as the cyclists headed off towards Lacey Green, through Bledlow and eventually back to Naphill.

More than 100 riders joined the presenter, dressed in fluorescent yellow, on her first race through the countryside of Buckinghamshire.
