Tom Grennan plots huge career switch up which will see him take on the Amazon rainforest

TOM GRENNAN is planning a huge feat for next year – taking part in an epic ultra-marathon in the Amazon rainforest. The Little Bit Of Love singer tells me he is gearing up for the Jungle Ultra, a 143-mile self-sufficient race described as a “race like no other”.

It makes his recent Ironman Challenge — when he cycled, swam and ran a total of 44 miles in six hours and 25 minutes — look like a walk in the park. The even more arduous quest he hopes to take on in Peru sounds horrendous but Tom clearly likes a challenge.

In an exclusive interview, he said: “I definitely want to do more Ironman. "There’s a triathlon-marathon thing through the jungle I’d like to do. Weirdly, it’s in the Amazon. “It’s five days running, trekking around the Amazon. And yeah, I wanna do that.

“I’ve got the London Marathon, I think I’m doing next year. I just need to have things that stimulate my brain. "And not just music, music, music. “I need other things to just give me a bit of sense of purpose, too. “Not only that, I like a challenge, and I like seeing how far my body will go, and how far my body can be pushed.”.

But Tom also has exciting music plans for 2025, after missing out on the Christmas No1 with It Can’t Be Christmas, which was released on Amazon Music. Last month he told me: “The album is done, which I’m really, really excited for. “This time, I absorbed loads of music. I listened to my own music too and just saw myself going down a little bit of a lane.
