OLYMPIC runner Freya Ross took time out from training to sink her teeth into a giant, healthy cupcake.

The London 2012 marathon star tasted the cake, made from porridge oats and fresh fruit by Hamilton bakery Cake-cetera, at Glasgow's Emirates Arena.

She was promoting the World's Biggest Coffee Morning, which takes place on Friday, September 27 in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.

Thousands of people across Glasgow are expected to take part in this year's event.

Freya, from Falkirk, said: "I've never had a cake made from porridge oats before but it was very tasty.

"It just shows things can be tasty and healthy.

"I'd like to get hold of the recipe.

"Macmillan is a great charity and I hope this coffee morning is a big success."

This year, Macmillan hopes to raise £15million from the event, with more than 100,000 people around the UK already signed up to hold a coffee morning.
