Mr Motivator hosts London Eye workout in Jubilee Gardens

Mr Motivator – also known as Derrick Adams – was joined by London town crier Peter Moore for the lunchtime stunt to promote the London Eye which has just re-opened after its annual January maintenance closure.

All participants in the workout will receive a free pair of tickets to the London Eye worth more than £30.

"It is great to be back in the UK and what a better place to get people on the right foot for the New Year than at the London Eye," said Mr Motivator.

The London Eye is now fully owned by Merlin Entertainments which also operates the London Aquarium and London Dungeon.

Merlin recently received planning permission from Lambeth Council for improvement works to the London Eye ticket office at County Hall and the creation of a 4D cinema to provide an additional experience for visitors to the wheel.

The 4D cinema will show a 3.5-minute film on its 10-metre screen accompanied by smoke, scent, sound and a vibrating floor.
