James Cracknell and David Walliams today completed their "swim to Africa" to raise money for the BBC's Sport Relief.

The pair completed the 12-mile swim across the Strait of Gibraltar from Spain to Morocco in just over four-and-a-half hours.

The swim was the last leg of Cracknell's cross-continent trip in which he rowed the Channel and cycled through France and Spain in 10 days.

Walliams was sick in the water and the pair saw dolphins and whales.
