Former Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt has pulled out of the Great North Run just moments before taking part in the marathon.
The 28-year-old has revealed on her GoFundMe page that she will embark on the 13-mile Newcastle course next year instead.
Moffatt had raised a total of £150 over the course of three months and initially had hoped to raise £5,000.
"Unfortunately, I can no longer take part in this year's run," she wrote on the fundraising page. "Instead I will be doing it next year. Thank you all so much for your donations.
"I have matched donations to date and have closed the donations on this page. I completely understand if you want your sponsorship back, which you can do by contacting the charity directly."
She had been raising money for Angel Trust, a Durham-based charity who help provide financial support and services for those in need.
Founded in 1981, the Great North Run begins in Newcastle and ends in South Shields. It is one of the biggest charity events in the UK, attracting various celebrity runners, this year including Olly Murs. Olympic medalist Mo Farah won the marathon for a record fifth time.
