So those people that know me well (and yes Twits I include you) will know that I have something of a crush on Jason Bradbury.
There are many reasons, he is geeky and clever and funny.........oh and he has a rather nice body. Luckily he knows I have a crush on him so I can blog about it with only minimal embarrassment. My husband also knows about my crush, he finds it funny.
We (as a family) have watched The Gadget Show for a long time and as my crush grew i started following Jason on Twitter. Jason is incredibly nice. No really, he is a really nice bloke. He is of course also an idiot! Always up for a ridiculous challenge, so I'm sure that when he was asked to Join the Swim he leapt at the chance, partly to show off his bod (he's such a floozy!) , partly for the unbelievable challenge but mostly for the charity it will help.
" Sir Richard Branson and Ronan Keating are taking on the ultimate challenge. They’re captaining a team to swim the gruelling waters of the Irish Sea and raise £1million for Cancer Research!
The Swim is a celebrity-led challenge to cross the Irish Sea from Holyhead to Dublin in a 10-person relay. Almost three times the length of the English Channel, this 56-mile swim hopes to raise £1 million for Cancer Research UK’s lifesaving work.
Will this team of celebrity adventurers beat the odds to swim the most treacherous waters off the British coast? Richard and Ronan are to be joined by Gadget Show host Jason Bradbury, Snog, Marry, Avoid presenter and pop star Jenny Frost and have most recently been joined by Strictly Come Dancing star Pamela Stephenson.
In the time that it is likely to take The Swim team to cross the Irish Sea (40 hours), around 1,400 people will have been diagnosed with cancer in the UK. So Cancer Research UK is calling on everyone to get involved in The Swim and help raise £1million for the charity’s lifesaving work."
So are you still sitting there? are you in awe that a bloke that had such poor swimming technique a few months ago is planning to swim in the Irish Sea?! Well why not donate a few quid while you are still in awe, you know you want to! If you are as crazy as Jason you could even organise a swim of your own..
Let me know if you donate, or if you plan a swim, or just comment with "phwoar!" if you like these pics :-)
I mean, who doesn't like a man in rubber......or a man out of it!
