Fabulously fit zumba instructor Esther Featherstone is on top of the world after completing her record breaking 36.5 hour zumbathon and raising around £20,000 for charity.

Joined by around 250 zumba enthusiasts, including regulars from classes at the King Edward Hall, Esther led continuous sessions throughout the day and night to claim world record status. The event, held at Clair Hall in Haywards Heath, was organised to raise funds for St Peter and St James Hospice in North Chailey.

“I was completely overwhelmed by the whole experience,” said Esther from Noah’s Ark Lane, who took four days off to recover. “I know now how Team GB felt at the Olympics!”
