Made In Chelsea star Oliver Proudlock has joined forces with the British Heart Foundation, and is to take part in this year's Virgin Money London Marathon on April 26 to raise money for the seven million people in the UK living with heart and circulatory disease.

Proudlock commented 'I wanted to get involved because I have such a close link to the cause. I have a history of heart conditions in my family. The BHF has funded decades of research to make sure more people survive heart surgery. I am so proud to be rising to this huge challenge and to be running the London Marathon to help the charity push the fight against heart disease onwards'.
