She continued: 'It was amazing, the weather was terrible, some of the hills were wild, but what a beautiful way to see England.'

In addition to being treated for bubonic plague, Amanda also enjoyed a hearty breakfast as a celebrity chef. Tom Kerridge surprised her with his version of an omelette with roasted potatoes, roasted red peppers and home-baked beans.

Amanda started her challenge on Monday, but on Thursday she blew a tire.

When she reached Surrey, she was forced to stop the cycle and lamented: 'It annoys us because it delays us, and we get into its swing!

'Every time I get off the bike my legs tingle'.

If the first delay wasn't annoying enough, Amanda was forced off her bike a second time due to another flat tire.

On the fourth day of his charity spin, Leigh Francis dressed as Elliot from ET – hilariously surprised with an ET model attached to his front.

Just when she thought the surprise was over, Leigh revealed that he would be helping Amanda with today's cycle on a tandem bike.

Then both of them got on the bike together and started running smiling.

The 250 mile challenge started on Monday and throughout the week he traveled through Somerset, Berkshire, Wiltshire and Surrey.

On Tuesday, she revealed that she was naked as her wet clothes dried due to severe weather.

The star revealed she had picked up a 'strange' injury as she sat 'naked' on a towel while relaxing in a hotel after battling 'terrible weather'.

Speaking to The Sun, he said: 'My thumbs hurt, it's so weird. I'm currently sitting here naked in nothing but a towel because the weather is terrible.

'Monday was too bad for the mountains, but now it's the weather. My wet gear is dried on a radiator in this lovely hotel called The Chapel. I poached an egg for breakfast and had two hash browns and some butternut squash soup before I headed out.

On Monday, Amanda was completely shocked when she was told that a £100,000 donation had been made to Global's Make Some Noise, the charity she is doing the challenge.

He said: 'We have received a £100,000 donation from the producers of The Wild Robot. It's just incredible.

“We have many people supporting us along the way. It was really exciting and beautiful, and obviously for a great cause.'

Amanda's five-day bike challenge started on Monday and will continue throughout the week as she travels through Somerset, Berkshire, Wiltshire and Surrey before reaching her destination on Friday.

The star revealed that she will use 'bum butter' from the beginning to the end of the trip.

In an interview with The Sun's Bizarre column, the radio presenter explained: 'I've got padded gussets and bum butter, but that's every day for me.

I've never heard of pum butter but now I've got several varieties.

He added: “We figure we're burning 15,000 calories a day.” I still have a saganaki stomach from my holiday in Corfu, so I'm doing this for charity and to lose weight. I'll be like Davina McCall when I come back. I will be torn apart.'

Having previously completed a 10,000ft skydive and the Three Peaks Challenge, Amanda is no stranger to extreme challenges. Climb to the top of Blackpool Tower in aid of Global's Make Some noise.

However, Amanda's 'big ride to work' was the farthest and longest she had ever cycled.
