Rob Rinder joined Krishnan Guru-Murthy, Frankie Bridge, Louise Minchin, Nick Grimshaw, Karim Zeroual and Samantha Womack last month for a gruelling race across the Namibian desert for Sport Relief.

The trek - which was originally intended to be a race across a frozen lake in Mongolia, before shifting to Namibia over coronavirus fears - forced the crew to battle intense heat and treacherous terrain on a 100-mile journey.

Exclusively for the Evening Standard, Rob Rinder recounts the brutal trek below, which was in aid of Sport Relief's campaign to tackle mental health stigma and increase mental health support in the UK.
