Has anyone ever beaten the cube?

ITV's The Cube had its first winner on 30 January 2012. Mo Farah competed on the special Olympian episode that will air later in 2012.

Mo Farah, who is the current 5000m world champion, beat all 7 levels of the cube with 6 lives left. (The show requires the contestant to complete 7 seemingly easy tasks in The Cube with only 9 lives.)

He won the £250,000 jackpot for The Mo Farah Foundation. His charity provides aid to the countries in East Africa who have been affected by the drought.
