COMEDIAN Eddie Izzard is celebrating after finishing his 43rd marathon in 51 days.
The 47-year-old looked exhausted yesterday, but exhilarated, as he completed his mega-marathon in aid of Sport Relief.
In a Rocky-esque moment, he climbed the steps in front of the National Gallery, lifted his hands in the air, and said: “I . . . feel . . . exhausted.”
Izzard, who is better known for his surrealist sense of humour than his athletic prowess, covered more than 1,100 miles, completing a marathon almost every day in just over seven weeks.
He has already raised more than £200,000 for his efforts.
Drenched in rain and sweat, Izzard was cheered to the finish by hundreds of supporters.
He said: “I feel dead.”
