A host of celebrities were among the 59,000 runners competing in the London Marathon on Sunday, with many achieving remarkable times. Cynthia Erivo, 39, smashed her personal best, crossing the finish line in three hours and 21 minutes, beating her previous time of three hours and 35 minutes set in 2022. Tilly Ramsay, 24, completed the iconic route in four hours and one minute, while Happy Valley actor James Norton, 40, finished in four hours and 29 minutes.
Celebrity Finishes and Reunions
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 in four hours and 19 minutes. McFly's Harry Judd, 40, who has run the marathon five times, outpaced all other celebrities with a time of three hours and five minutes. Drag Race UK star Kitty Scott Claus, 34, finished in four hours and 25 minutes, followed by singer Alexandra Burke, 37, also at four hours and 25 minutes.
Joe Wicks and Daddy Pig
Joe Wicks crossed the line in five hours and 51 minutes alongside Daddy Pig, after Harry Styles fans speculated the singer was disguised in the costume. Daddy Pig was running to raise awareness and funds for the National Deaf Children's Society, following son George's recent hearing loss diagnosis. Fans have theorized that the pig costume could hide pop star Harry Styles, known for his marathon running under pseudonyms. Styles participated in the Tokyo Marathon last year with a time of three hours, 24 minutes, and seven seconds, and later ran the Berlin Marathon in under three hours (two hours, 59 minutes, and 13 seconds).
Rumors intensified after Daddy Pig posed for Runner's World digital cover, following Styles' appearance weeks earlier. Speculation grew when Styles was spotted in London with fiancée Zoe Kravitz. Joe Wicks addressed the theory live on the BBC, stating, 'Daddy Pig is Daddy Pig. He is himself, there's no celebrities here right now.' Gabby Logan added, 'The way he was dancing, I think we can put that one to bed.'
