"Dara O&amp;#039;Briain, Melanie C, Jack Dee, Chelsee Healey, Phillips Idowu and Greg James today (February 1) completed the BT Red Nose Hell and High Water Challenge. The five-day trek saw the crew travel 111km down the Zambezi river to raise money for Comic Relief.  The team descended a 200ft gorge using the &amp;#039;Steps of Doom&amp;#039; ladder and battled rapids before ending the challenge at 3.18pm this afternoon. James said: &amp;quot;The rapids are really frightening, especially if you&amp;#039;re a novice! You can&amp;#039;t just sit back, you have to keep paddling otherwise you&amp;#039;ll just float off and go miles away. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re in a big raft today and it keeps bouncing around, people are popping out of it like popcorn! I bounced into the air earlier and was only saved by Phillips grabbing me with his massive athletic claw!  &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re going through rapids called &amp;#039;The Terminator&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;The Gnashing Jaws of Death&amp;#039;; they&amp;#039;re just horrible names. I wish we could go through something called &amp;#039;Small Mound&amp;#039; or &amp;#039;Babbling Brook&amp;#039; instead.&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;Let me sum up how I&amp;#039;m feeling in one phrase - I&amp;#039;m over it. Big time. I&amp;#039;m over the water, the rapids, the hippos, the boats, the tents, the camping, the sand, the itchy bits, the mosquitos, the blisters, the sunburn, the smell - it&amp;#039;s been really tough. &amp;quot;But we&amp;#039;re here, we&amp;#039;ve been doing this challenge and we all look like idiots, but the point is to raise a lot of money for the people we&amp;#039;ve been meeting out here. And I know it sounds really cheesy, but I totally get it - I get Comic Relief properly now. I&amp;#039;ve always watched it on telly, but I&amp;#039;ve seen it now first-hand. It&amp;#039;s really touching, really lovely.&amp;quot;  The six-strong team hope to raise \u00C2\u00A31 million to help children in Zambia go to school. BT has pledged \u00C2\u00A330,000 a day to the challenge. To sponsor the team, visit the official Red Nose Day website. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
