MOLLIE MUDDERS: More what Mollie did next, here she is taking part in the Tough Mudders. A community of normal individuals with an abnormal commitment to overcoming challenge. We create some of the world’s most intense obstacle courses, designed to test your physical strength, mental grit, and aptitude for camaraderie. She said afterwards it was the toughest thing she had done!
Friday night, March 15, saw the return of Red Nose Day for Comic Relief 2024 and the three-hour show was packed with entertainment, from McFly’s opening medley performance to a spoof of The Traitors.
The Traitors 'movie' starred Nailsea's own disability model Molly Pearce who finally got her own back on Horrid Harry by pan-handling him on BBC television!
Scenes from the reality show including some of the most legendy moments of the round table chats and banishments were relived.
Dubbed by the Mail Online 'the innocent' Molly's revenge was hitting 'Harry' around the head with a giant frying pan as the stand-in actor gushed he was 'the greatest traitor'.

Nailsea superstar Mollie Pearce has announced on Instagram she will be Dancing on Ice which is set to return in early 2025.
North Somerset model and disability advocate Mollie was favourite to take to the ice, according to a betting company expert.
Mollie was 1/4 favourite to swap The Traitors' castle for the ice rink, they said.
The hugely popular runner up on The Traitors, Mollie will compete in the 17th series of the ITV show.
Since The Traitors, the Bristol-based model and former Nailsea School student has also taken part in Comic Relief, The Traitors: The Movie and appeared on Loose Women.
On the announcement of her joining the Dancing on Ice line-up, Mollie told Lorraine during a breakfast television appearance: "It will be fun, I want to challenge myself, I'm ready for the challenge."
Dancing on Ice is a British television series currently presented by Stephen Mulhern and Holly Willoughby.
The series features celebrities and their professional partners figure skating in front of a panel of judges.
The series, broadcast on ITV, started on 14 January 2006.
Each week the celebrities and their partners perform a live ice dance routine.
A four/five-strong ice panel give a mark between 0.0 and 10.0.
These total scores then create a leaderboard which combines with the public vote in order to determine the two lowest placed couples with one couple leaving the competition each week.
Obviously Nailsea People will be voting for Mollie!
CARNIVAL CHAMPION: And Mollie with members of the Nailsea Carnival & Fayre committee also popped in this week to 1st Nailsea Scouts HQ at Clevedon Road to pay a special visit to some of its Beavers, Cubs and Scouts and to collect a £844.16 cheque as carnival head judge on behalf of Crohn's & Colitis UK, who were this year's nominated charity for the carnival procession.

VOTED OFF: Weakest Link on BBC on Saturday night and it’s Mollie and her friend Harry … sadly Mollie went out first and guess who was among those who voted her off? Hang your head in shame (again) Harry. Mollie’s verdict on the tv quiz show? She said it was ‘more stressful than round table on Traitors’.

The new year will certainly be hotting up for Nailsea superstar Mollie Pearce when she gets her skates on to appear on the new series of Dancing on Ice 2025.
As well as our own star of The Traitors the celebrity line-up includes Olympic icon Steve Redgrave and someone with Clevedon connections, Michaela Strachan.
It's been confirmed that Dancing on Ice will return on Sunday evening, January 12, 2025.
The first show of the season will air at 6.30pm on ITV and ITVX.
Many celebs suffered injuries in the first few weeks of rehearsals including Mollie.
With an wrist injured her early days with professional partner Colin Grafton were restricted to the ballet studio before thankfully being declared fully fit to perform on the rink.
The Sun newspaper reported that although the former Nailsea School student, model, influencer and advocate for Crohns & Colitis UK may have stumbled at the last hurdle on The Traitors, she's ready for a triumphant return Dancing on Ice.
Mollie dramatically exited the popular BBC mystery show, falling just short of the £95k prize.
Since Traitors she’s been keeping busy, popping up on Lorraine and Loose Women on ITV, and even presenting a segment for BBC One’s Morning Live to raise awareness about living with a stoma.
She led Nailsea carnival in the summer, appeared in a comedy skit for Children in Need and unceremoniously was voted off The Weakest Link by arch rival Harry Clark.
The television personality celebrates her 23rd birthday this month on Tuesday, January 28.
Mollie was diagnosed with an ulcerative colitis aged just 11-years-old requiring major surgery and the fitting of a Stoma bag.
Mollie’s passionate about championing awareness and support for people with limb differences.
Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern will be back to present Dancing on Ice 2025 for the second year.
Mulhern took over the show following Phillip Schofield's exit from ITV, ending his long-time partnership with Willoughby, with whom he presented This Morning as well as Dancing on Ice.
The judging panel for Dancing on Ice 2025 will see Oti Mabuse, Ashley Banjo, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean return to their seats.

While contestant pay varies from £20,000 to £100,000 the winners of Dancing on Ice only get to take home the trophy, and the accolade of being the series winner, which by all accounts, is a pretty impressive prize to take home. ITV previously confirmed to Metro.co.uk there is no cash prize for winning Dancing on Ice.
