This is the moment Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas completes the world’s fastest zipline in memory of her brother who died in a suicide.

Ballas became an ambassador for the Campaign Against Living Miserably (Calm) because she “wanted to do more” for her brother who tragically died 20 years ago.

She will also tackle a wing walk on 10 August and a skydive on 12 August, as part of her Skyathlon challenge. She hopes to raise £200,000 for Calm.

Ballas posted a video of the challenge in Penrhyn Quarry in North Wales on her Instagram account.
