Vicky Pattinson and Alex Scott shared their hilarious team bonding moment during Comic Relief's coldest ever challenge - involving a toe and an armpit.

The two women, alongside Laura Whitmore and Sara Davies, took on the Snow Going Back challenge on February 19, trekking 50km across the Artic Circle over four days.

Venturing across the icy terrain, which is usually a training spot for the British Special Forces, the four women walked, fat-biked and even skied to reach their goal.

Although the 'gruelling' task was not a walk in the park, the sports pundit, 39, and TV  personality, 36, revealed there were some hysterical team building moments along the way.

Discussing how the four worked together, Vicky hilariously quipped: 'I had Alex's toe in my armpit within 24 minutes of being there.' 

The giggling sports presenter chimed in: 'That's how you keep warm because you could potentially - because its that cold - lose your fingers and toes.

'So you need to actually be as a team and help each other through, so that was our first bonding moment.'

Chatting about the first all-female Comic Relief challenge, the pair divulged to One Show hosts Lauren Laverne and Jermaine Jenas, that everyone did their bit to make it across the finish line. 

Sharing how the team spirit pulled them through the arduous journey, Alex at one point carried her teammates supplies to help lighten the load.

'I think in that moment, I was like okay I know physically I am strong so I can take some of the load now,' said the presenter.

Explaining that Sara and Vicky kept camp morale up beat, she added: 'We all had different strengths.'

'Everyone was pulling through at all different moments throughout it and I think that was just so inspiring being part of this group.

'All of us knowing that we are doing it for the bigger cause and no one was slacking at all. Actually we were all trying to do more for each other.'

Vicky added: 'She's a real weapon, she is being so modest. The way she pulled them sleds some days, without her I don't know if we would have got through.'

Elaborating on everyone's strengths, the ex-Geordie Shore star said: 'Laura was our mam, she was caring, she was like "how many layers you got on".'

'Sarah was the morale. You can't be down around Sara Davies you know and like I say she [Alex] was a total weapon. 

Vicky jokingly quipped: 'I was a winge'

'Absolutely not, your personality, you're fun,' said the sports pundit, who described Vicky as the 'ultimate team player'.

'You kept morale up and actually that's what I can't wait for everyone to see in the documentary.'

Part of the money raised during their treacherous challenge will be going to charities like Hebburn Helps Foodbank in South Tyneside - not far where Vicky is from. 

The reality TV star revealed that she learnt some harrowing statistics while visiting the food bank a stone throw away from her home a day before embarking on the icy adventure.

'Three out of four people who visit food banks are going to be women and that's because of things like 65 per cent of chores always fall to women in the household,' she said.

'Raising children, looking after a household - it's traditionally women's job so subsequently all the pressure falls on them.

'So not only were we the first ever Comic Relief all-female challenge, we were girls doing it for girls and that felt really important.'

Snow Going Back Comic Relief v The Artic airs next Monday at 9pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
