British comedian David Walliams swims the Thames River


UK comedian from Little Britain, David Walliams is swimming the length of the river Thames (140miles) for the Big Splash Challenge for Sport Relief and is due to arrive in London in the next few days.

He has however been advised not to swim through the London section of the Thames due to the amount of sewage that has been dumped in it.

Thames Water said about 500,000 cubic metres of raw sewage has entered the river since Monday.

The company's Richard Aylard said he would strongly recommend not swimming in it.
