Gary Barlow - Kilimanjaro

Day 3.

Of The BT Red Nose Climb: The group witness the effects of altitude sickness on Ronan’s 32nd Birthday

Comic Relief’s celebrity climbers surprised Ronan Keating on the morning of his 32nd birthday by rousing him from his tent with a birthday singsong, balloons and cards from his family and friends.

Later on Ronan was in for more birthday treats when the group set up camp in the clouds and presented him with a huge birthday cake. An embarrassed Ronan joked “Girls Aloud, Gary Barlow, Alesha Dixon – all these big mega stars singing Happy Birthday to me, it was really special, really great”.

Gary Barlow was forced to wait behind during the optional acclimatisation walk due to his back pain which is still causing the group concern. Gary said "I woke up with bad back this morning. The rest of the guys did a big acclimatisation climb, but I gave my back a rest and went with a guide on my own for a lonely 4 hour trek. It was the right thing to do though - I'm feeling better tonight - big day tomorrow."

With money raised through this extraordinary event, Comic Relief will be able to provide mosquito nets in Africa that can help prevent potentially fatal bites that cause malaria, as well as helping extremely vulnerable, poor and disadvantaged people here in the UK.
