Which celebrities are running the London Marathon 2023?
The London Marathon will feature another host of celebrities in 2023, running for great causes and charities across the nation.
Today's the day - it's time for the London Marathon to return to the streets with more than 40,000 runners set to take part in another epic endurance test.
As ever, the group will be made up of elite, experienced and novice runners alike, with some hoping to make a record time and others simply hoping to cross the finish line and complete the 26-mile route.
Each year amongst those running are a number of famous faces, who just like everyone else will have been hard at work, training to make sure they're ready for the world renowned event.
The route will take them out of Greenwich Park, past Tower Bridge and Canary Wharf, along Embankment and past Westminster until the runners get to Buckingham Palace and finish on The Mall.
One celebrity who was originally set to take part but has unfortunately had to pull out is EastEnders star Jake Wood, who was due to run in aid of Alzheimers Research UK as part of Babs' Army, a group running in memory of Barbara Windsor.
However, Wood revealed in a video posted to Instagram that he has a chest infection and has been given medical advice telling him not to take part, and said that he is "gutted" not to be running.
So which celebrities will be taking part in this year's marathon? RadioTimes.com rounds up all the celebrities running the London Marathon in 2023.
