Comedian Paul Elliott, better known as one half of the Chuckle Brothers, will be travelling across the UK next month as he takes part in Marie Curie's biggest annual fundraiser.
Elliott, 78, aims to raise £40,000 for charity as he travels from John O'Groats to Land's End for the 40th anniversary of the Great Daffodil Appeal.
He will be making the journey with the Daff Bike, a Marie-Curie branded version of the Chuckle Bike - a two-seater pedal car featured in the children's TV show ChuckleVision.
Elliott said he was "incredibly proud" to be an ambassador for the charity, which provided end-of-life care to his brother, Barry, who died from bone cancer aged 73 in 2018.
"When you think about it, there's only one chance to give someone the best possible end of life. That's why the Great Daffodil Appeal is so important."
Elliott, originally from Rotherham, has been an official ambassador for Marie Curie since October 2016.
Marie Curie depends on fundraising and public donations and provides end-of-life care for people with an illness from which they are likely to die, as well as supporting family and friends.
Elliott said he wanted to do something "big" and "fun" to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the fundraiser.
The entertainer is best known for starring in The Chuckle Brothers, which was known for spawning catchphrases including "To me, to you" and "Oh dear, oh dear".
He added: "Whilst I'd love to be able to cycle the iconic John O'Groats to Land's End route like so many incredible fundraisers do, I'm really excited to get to travel the route with the Daff Bike, raise lots of money for the charity and meet as many Marie Curie supporters, volunteers and staff as possible to say a huge thank you - from me to you."
Elliott's tour of the UK will kick off on 3 March, with stops in Glasgow, Bradford, Birmingham, Penarth, Exeter and Plymouth, before his final stop in Land's End on 11 March.
Marie Curie chief executive Matthew Reed said: "Every three minutes someone dies without the end-of-life care they need.
"The Great Daffodil Appeal gives Marie Curie the chance to provide expert end of life care and support to more people, whatever their illness. Care that protects someone's dignity, instead of leaving them alone or in avoidable pain.
"A huge thank you to Paul for taking on this mammoth tour of the UK and thank you to our loyal supporters and volunteers for the last 40 years of support for the Great Daffodil Appeal."
