Ewan McGregor has toasted his arrival at the Zambia/Zimbabwe border with a trip to the tailors. The Trainspotting star and his actor pal Charley Boorman are travelling the length of the planet on motorbikes, starting at John O'Groats in Scotland and ending at Cape Town, South Africa.

But as they near the final leg of their journey, wear and tear has started to set in - and McGregor was forced to a local tailor to preserve his dignity.

Speaking on his video diary he explains, "You're probably wondering why I've got this towel on my shoulder in the middle of this town. I'm not going to have a shower, but I think it is time to see if we can fix the hole in between my legs."
