A reality TV STAR will be passing through Herefordshire in a bid to support her partner as he attempts to run the entire length of the country.
Love Island star Danica Taylor, who appeared in the 2022 season of the hit ITV reality show will be joining her partner, Nathan Grant, as he prepares to run the length of England to raise money for Cancer Research UK.
The pair will be running through the county on October 9, passing through Canon Pyon to Wye Valley View in the south of the county.
Mr Grant is embarking on the ‘England Victory Lap Challenge’ in a touching tribute to his brother, Christopher Grant, who sadly lost his battle with cancer at just 34 years old.
Mr Grant will be running every day for approximately 30 miles until October 23, the equivalent of completing a marathon per day.

Ms Taylor will be running part of the trail with Nathan, and at other times will be supporting alongside in their campaign van, so fans may encounter her in the county.
Speaking of her partner's courageous challenge, Ms Taylor said that Mr Grant is "nothing short of extraordinary", adding she was proud of him for embarking on such a fierce journey.
"Cancer affects so many people and we want to be a voice for those who have been affected.
"Nathan has been pushing himself physically for over a thousand days now, so I’m certain he will do the whole of England proud.”
