Made in Chelsea star, ultra-athlete and campaigner Josh Patterson (JP) will be in Inverness on Monday.

He is kicking-off a series of 76 marathons in 76 cities, over 76 consecutive days in order to raise funds for Samaritans.

Having struggled with his own mental health, Josh is aiming to raise £1 million for the health and suicide prevention charity.

He will be starting his first run in Inverness city centre on February 27.

Speaking on his social media about the mammoth challenge, he said: "It is so exciting for me that I can finally be at the stage to announce this challenge.

"The plan for this year is to attempt a world first and run 76 marathons in the 76 cities in the UK consecutively.

"It is inevitable that at some point that this will break me mentally and physically, but with your support I believe we can do this."

He added: "My goal will be to raise £1m for them. If successful in raising the full amount it will fund 200,000 life saving phone calls.

"I will not be able to achieve this alone, only with all your support will this be possible."
