Grrrrr-aham gets ready for the off!

Graham Liver and other BBC presenters, celebrities and sports stars took part in a Dragon Boat Challenge for Sport Relief.

Graham teamed up with North West Tonight presenters Tony Livesey, Annabel Tiffin and Dianne Oxberry for the race through Salford Quays.

The teams were joined by comedians Nick Hancock and Justin Moorhouse and other celebs ready to risk a splashing!

The race was held outside the future home of BBC Sport in Salford Quays.

Stars from the world of sport - England cricketer James Anderson, England footballer Sue Smith and Olympic swimmer Steve Parry - added some serious sporting muscle to the teams as they went head to head.

Jeremy Edwards from Holby City and our very own Graham Liver added the glamour and good looks (he made us write that!)

Experienced oarsmen from the Pool of Life Dragon Boat club in Liverpool made up the numbers in each boat - and kept the stars heading in a straight line over the one mile course in Salford Quays.

The question is... who won the challenge? Watch the video to find out!
