A whole host of stars were amongst the 59,000 runners competing in the London Marathon on Sunday – with many achieving incredible times.
Cynthia Erivo, 39, smashed her personal best when she crossed the finish line at three hours and 21 minutes, beating her previous time of three hours and 35 minutes which she achieved in 2022.
Meanwhile Tilly Ramsay, 24, ran the iconic route in four hours one minute, ahead of Happy Valley actor James Norton, 40, who finished at four hours 29 minutes.
The daughter of TV chef Gordon Ramsay enjoyed a reunion with her former Strictly Come Dancing partner Nikita Kuzmin, 28, at the finish line after he finished at four hours and 19 minutes.
But it was McFly‘s Harry Judd, 40, who has run the iconic marathon a whopping five times, who pipped all his fellow celebs to the post at three hours and five minutes.
Drag Race UK star Kitty Scott Claus, 34, finished at four hours 25 minutes followed by singer Alexandra Burke, 37, at four hours 25 minutes.

Joe Wicks crossed the finished line at five hours and fifty one minutes alongside Daddy Pig, after Harry Styles fans were convinced the singer had disguised himself in the costume.
Peppa Pig’s dad was running the course to raise awareness and funds for the National Deaf Children’s Society, after his son George’s recent hearing loss diagnosis.
But fans watching the race have begun to speculate that the pig costume could be hiding a global pop star underneath.
Harry, 32, is well-known for his passion for running and participated in two marathons last year under pseudonyms, sharing how it enables him to be alone with his thoughts and shed the trappings of fame.
The One Direction star stunned fans last year when he popped up on the streets of Tokyo, taking part in the city marathon.
He impressed onlookers when he crossed the finish line with a time of three hours, 24 minutes and 7 seconds, landing him in very respectable 6,010th place of 26,706 runners.
Six months later, the Watermelon Sugar singer scored a new personal best when he ran the Berlin Marathon in under three hours, with a finish time of two hours, 59 minutes and 13 seconds.

And people are now theorising that he could be making his hat-trick with the London Marathon, but by disguising himself as Daddy Pig.
The cartoon character has already followed in Harry’s footsteps by posing for the digital cover of Runner’s World last month, just weeks after the hitmaker appeared on the cover.
Rumours are now swirling that the two stars are one and the same, with fans claiming to have recognised Harry’s legs.
Adding fuel to the fire is the fact that the Grammy winner was spotted in London this week, sharing a kiss his reported fiancée Zoe Kravitz on Tuesday outside her hotel in Hampstead.
Speculation reached such a fever pitch that Joe Wicks, who has been training with Daddy Pig in the lead-up to the marathon, was forced to address the theory live on the BBC.
Interviewing the pair, BBC Sport presenter Gabby Logan said: ‘I’ve got to address this – right now online there‘s a certain story brewing that inside this costume is actually Harry Styles, who is a very good marathon runner as we know.’
Putting the spotlight on Joe, she asked: ‘Can you confirm that this might be the case?’
However, the Body Coach replied: ‘Listen, Daddy Pig is Daddy Pig. He is himself, he’s being himself and there’s no celebrities here right now.’
As Daddy Pig danced playfully, Gabby quipped: ‘The way he was dancing just then, I think we can put that one to bed’.
Joe admitted: ‘It’s a good rumour that, I love it. It’s gone around social media like wildfire. Has he got Harry Styles’ legs, I don’t know!’
While Gabby said: ‘I don’t know, people are searching the internet right now. We shall see when you cross the finish line…’
