Mollie Pearce and Connor Ball have reached an incredible milestone after completing a gruelling five marathons in just five days — all in the name of charity.
The determined couple celebrated their emotional ending after walking an astonishing 131 miles from Oxford to Leicester Square this week.
The Traitors' beauty, 24, and the former The Vamps singer, 30, pushed themselves to the limit to raise vital funds and awareness for Crohn’s & Colitis, in a challenge that tested both their physical endurance and mental strength.
Molly was captured breaking down in tears as Connor sweetly hugged her and elsewhere the pair posed proudly with the billboard sign.
Speaking about the project, Connor told Revamp: 'Physically, we’ve just been walking as much as we can. We’ve also been going to the gym and doing Pilates—my hips are so tight, so that’s been important.
'You’ve got to stretch properly when you’re walking that much. We’ve also tried to make it fun—when we were in Thailand, we even took some Muay Thai classes.'

Reality star Mollie echoed her partner, highlighting it took '10 hours of walking a day' to stay on track.
'As Connor said, Crohn’s and Colitis aren’t talked about enough, and it’s not always the easiest cause to raise money for because people feel uncomfortable talking about it.
'So I’m really proud that we’re helping to break that stigma. And I’m also really proud that we’re doing this together,' she added.
The TV favourite was thrilled to take on the marathon after the couple previously thought they'd 'never do one' in their life.
Just recently, Mollie detailed the struggles of travelling with a Stoma bag in a candid Instagram post in February.
The Traitors season two star, who recently jetted off to Thailand with her pop star boyfriend Connor, said that she feels grateful to now be able to travel, but there were moments during her three-week trip when she felt 'low' and 'different'.
In the candid video, Molly proudly displayed her Stoma bag while wearing a string of bikinis and stylish outfits in Thailand, as she opened up about how she didn't see one other person with a Stoma bag the whole time she was travelling.
She also shared several throwback clips of herself in the hospital from several years ago, admitting that travelling at that time wouldn't have even been possible for her.
In the candid video clip, she said: 'Hi, I'm Mollie, and I just travelled around Thailand for three weeks with a stoma bag.
'This trip has always been a dream of mine, and I wanted to share with you guys what it was really like and the freedom my stoma gave me and the challenges I still face.

'Honestly, my stoma is the reason I was even able to do this trip. A few years ago, travelling like this just wouldn't have been possible for me.
'I was constantly thinking about where the toilet is, pain, and flare ups, and whether my body would allow me to enjoy anything at all.
'Thanks to my stoma, my health is better than ever. And being in Thailand for three weeks really reminded me of that. It didn't stop me doing the things I wanted to do. It actually gave me freedom to do them.
'So many moments on this trip where I stopped and thought I wouldn't be here without it, and I genuinely love Sid the Stoma for that.
'But I do want to be really honest, and it wasn't easy all of the time, I think I'm quite good at sharing positive parts online, you know the highlights, the sunsets, the freedom.
'When I really stepped back, there were moments I felt low, and there were moments I felt different.
'I didn't see one other person with a stoma bag the whole time I was travelling. And that sounds small, but for me it wasn't.
'Because sometimes seeing someone who looks a little bit like you makes you feel less alone.
'As much as I love what my Stoma has given me, it's still not the body I would have chosen to travel in.'
