West Wight Runner Jackie Follows PB Marathon Run With Eastenders Appearance

A West Wight road runner is celebrating - and recovering - following a brilliant performance at the London Marathon on Sunday (21) and appearance on BBC One's flagship show the following day.

Jackie Williams completed the 26.2 mile course in 5 hours, 11 minutes and 59 seconds.

If that wasn't enough, Jackie subsequently appeared in Monday's episode of EastEnders as they were filming a scene as she crossed Tower Bridge at the same time!

Jackie only started running during lockdown and this was her second marathon.

She is already looking forward to her next marathon planned for November in Florence, Italy.
