Stuart Broad’s advice to Mollie
In an exclusive chat as she finished the first 20km stretch, Mollie opened up about how Stuart, 37, had been keeping her spirits up ahead of the mammoth challenge.
Mollie said: “I have been so incredibly nervous in the days leading up to it, I’ve had a bit of a foggy head.
“My partner Stuart was like, ‘It’s cool, it’s pre match nerves’.
“He has been really encouraging and really supportive.”
Who is Mollie’s partner?
Stuart Broad, born June 24, 1986, is a former England cricketer.
Broad started his first-class county career at Leicestershire before returning home to Nottinghamshire in 2008.
During his 17-year glittering career, Broad’s cricketing highlights include taking 8-15 at Trent Bridge in the 2015 Ashes in one of the best-ever spells of bowling, and scoring 169 with the bat vs Pakistan at Lord’s in 2010 – long before his “Nighthawk” role.
Broad and Mollie started dating in London in 2012 and spent New Year’s Eve together, but later split.
Five years later, the couple got back together in 2018.
On January 1, 2021, Broad got down on one knee and proposed to Mollie, with the singer and radio presenter saying yes.
Following the proposal, the pair welcomed daughter Annabella Broad in November 2022.
