Amanda and Ashley in
‘Heart Breakfast’s race against time!’

5 epic challenges, in 5 hours, over 5 days

Amanda to scale the Blackpool tower in first challenge on Monday 2nd October

Heart Breakfast presenter Amanda Holden and Heart Breakfast’s showbiz reporter Ashley Roberts will undertake five gruelling challenges next week in aid of Heart’s charity, Global’s Make Some Noise.

‘Heart Breakfast’s Race Against Time’ challenge will see Amanda Holden and Ashley Roberts, tackle five epic challenges, in five hours across five days. The challenge will begin on Monday 2nd of October during Heart Breakfast where a timer will be set to five hours and Amanda and Ashley must make their way through the challenges over the course of the week, racing against the clock before the end of their Heart Breakfast show on Friday 6th October.

Amanda and Ashley are taking on the challenge in aid of Heart’s charity, Global’s Make Some Noise, which raises money and awareness for small charities that are changing lives across the UK.

This morning (Friday 29th September) it was revealed that the first challenge is for Amanda Holden to scale The Blackpool Tower on Monday 2nd of October. One of Britain’s best-loved landmarks, The Blackpool Tower stands at a colossal 518 feet from the ground. Amanda will bravely be climbing the tower during her Heart Breakfast show, all the way to the very top, touching the flagpole. More people have been to the moon than have touched The Blackpool Tower flagpole!

Heart Breakfast’s Jamie Theakston will be in the Heart studio all week keeping an eye on the clock, cheering Amanda and Ashley on as they make their way through the challenges. Jamie will also be talking to some of the amazing charities that Global’s Make Some Noise is supporting this year.

This year is Global’s Make Some Noise’s 10th appeal, and in that time it has helped change the lives of over 175,000 people and support 440 critical projects in communities across the UK.

“It’s going to be a busy week for me and Ashley as we tackle some absolutely epic challenges all to raise money for Global’s Make Some Noise.

On Monday I’m going to be faced with my very first challenge…to climb to the very top of The Blackpool Tower! Apparently I’m the first untrained person to climb to the flagpole and more people have travelled to the moon than have climbed Blackpool Tower. This is going to be very interesting!

This year marks our 10th appeal for Global’s Make Some Noise and over those 10 years we’ve helped change the lives of over 175,000 people across the UK, and we can’t wait to raise as much money as possible for this year’s charities with the truly wonderful support of our amazing listeners.”
Heart Breakfast’s Amanda Holden

“I’m so excited to be taking on these challenges in aid of Global’s Make Some Noise. We have no idea what we are in for next week, but I just know that each challenge will test Amanda and I physically and mentally. We want to raise as much money for these amazing charities who do such incredible work across the UK. Bring it on!”
Heart Breakfast’s Ashley Roberts

Jamie Theakston said: “All of next week Amanda and Ashley will be taking on some epic challenges to help raise money for our charity Global’s Make Some Noise. They only have five hours across five days to complete these challenges, so I’ll be here at the Heart studios, keeping a watchful eye on the time making sure they complete it! Good luck Amanda and Ashley! I’ll also be meeting and talking to some of the amazing charities that Global’s Make Some Noise will be supporting this year. These are all small charities that do incredible work and they need our support now more than ever.”
