Fearne Cotton looks back on her week so far in Uganda, where she has been helping with the mass distribution of anti-mosquito nets in the Hoima district of western Uganda.
We’ve walked Moyles for these nets
RADIO 1 DJ Chris Moyles hands out life-saving mosquito nets in Uganda yesterday - bought with cash raised from the Comic Relief trek up Mount Kilimanjaro.
GMTV host Ben Shephard Take That's Gary Barlow, Girls Aloud singer Kimberley Walsh and presenter Fearne Cotton also handed out the gear. Hundreds of locals in the East African country queued up to get the nets, which protect against the malaria-carrying insects.
The five celebs were among nine stars, including Cheryl Cole and Alesha Dixon, who raised £3.5million by scaling 19,000ft Kilimanjaro in neighbouring Tanzania - enough to buy nets for 1.5million people.
Gary, 38 said: "The Kilimanjaro trip was harder than any of us could have ever imagined. But helping to hand out the nets makes all the altitude sickness, muscle pain and exhaustion worth it."
Documentary Comic Relief: The Net Result, will air on BBC1 over Christmas.
