      Souness, 70, decided to try and raise £1.1million to aid the fight against disease after meeting 14-year-old Isla Grist, who suffers from the condition.
      While being interviewed about the swim by ITV’s Ed Chamberlain, Souness was told that his wife had said that she was relieved he completed the challenge and was safe.

      He said: “Isla is such a special little lady, you have to meet her to appreciate that, and the cause is fantastic.
      “We’ve managed to raise lots of money, we would never be able to raise enough money for this terrible disease because, never mind a cure, we can’t even offer relief at this time.

      “All I can say is it’s the worst thing I’ve ever witnessed.
      “It’s truly horrendous, the poor sufferers never get a minutes relief from it, every waking day is an unbelievably difficult day for them and there’s no light at the end of the tunnel.
      “And that’s why we have to find, firstly, giving these poor children relief from the constant edge and the constant pain.
      “And also, please God, please God, very soon we find a cure for it.”
      Souness’ efforts saw many people donate to the cause, including former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
      The donation from the Old Trafford icon caused Souness to break down in tears.
      He told talkSPORT: “I hope I don’t embarrass him by saying this, but Alex Ferguson donated £20,000 after he quizzed me on it for half an hour.
      “He’s got a heart of gold, that man. You have to search for it, but it’s there!”
      What is Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB)?Epidermolysis bullosa (EB), also known as ‘butterfly skin’ is the name for a group of rare inherited skin disorders that cause the skin to become very fragile.
      Any trauma or friction to the skin can cause painful blisters.
      The main symptoms of all types of EB include:

      skin that blisters easily
      blisters inside the mouth
      blisters on the hands and soles of the feet
      scarred skin, sometimes with small white spots called milia
      thickened skin and nails

      The 3 main types of EB are:

      epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) – the most common type, which tends to be milder with a low risk of serious complications
      dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) – which can range from mild to severe
      junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB) – the rarest and most severe type

      The type reflects where on the body the blistering takes place and which layer of skin is affected.
      There are also many variants of these 3 main types of EB, each with slightly different symptoms.
