Further details
Suzi Ruffell, comedian, dyslexic, and podcaster with the LGBT show Out, donates a Dutch upright bicycle. The bike allows her to cycle without hurting her back, and she describes it as the Jeep of bicycles. To this day, no-one knows for certain how bikes stay upright.
Ainsley Harriott, celebrity chef, TV host and a man who blacked out a hotel using six ovens, offers up the welwitschia mirabilis, a plant in the Namibia desert that has been around since the dinosaurs and was voted the 4th ugliest plant in the world.
Helen Fielding, the novelist behind the Bridget Jones books, as well as Mills and Boon novels, provides the Victoria Falls. The water that falls creates a "smoke that thunders", as well as "moonbows".
