The TV personality also attempted the race in 2018 (pictured), but struggled due to her knee injury, and had to pull out after nine miles. In 2021, Price vowed to attempt the 2022 race, despite breaking her feet in a freak accident, but it’s not been confirmed if she will take part. | Tim P. Whitby/ Getty Images
