After scaling to the top of the pop charts with some of the most memorable hits this country has ever heard, no-one would blame Gary Barlow for resting on his laurels.

But later this week, Gary’s scaling further than ever before as he attempt to conquer Mount Kilimanjaro for Comic Relief.

On the daunting task ahead, Gary revealed, "I really can't wait for this to happen. It's been quite a long time in the organising but now it’s almost here!”

However, the sheer scale of the 19,340ft, tallest mountain in Africa is also playing on his mind, “Altitude sickness is the biggest fear I guess - I've been skiing at around 2000 meters before but this is almost three times as high as that so it's a real unknown quantity for all of us.”

That said, with the chance to raise money to help change lives across Africa and the UK for thousands of people, we think they’ll overcome everything the inactive stratovolcano can throw at them!

The Coldplay frontman has struck up a friendship with the Take That singer since they performed together at a charity concert in London last week, and the duo have been debating which of them is most talented.

A source said: "It was all on jest as they've developed a surprisingly strong friendship despite being from very different pop and rock worlds.

"Each has racked up plenty of famous songs, but they eventually decided to call it even."

'Back For Good' singers Take That have notched up 11 UK number one singles - including two cover versions - while Coldplay have reached the top spot just once in Britain with 'Viva La Vida'.

Chris has previously spoken about his admiration for the reformed boy band and expressed his wish to tour with them.

Writing on Coldplay's official website last year, he said: "I would open for Take That. We were in the dressing room the other day and, for whatever reason, we started singing 'Back For Good'. We sang the whole thing, word for word, with all the right chords on our piano, without having to learn it. It was great.

"So I'd like to use the Coldplay website to announce that if Take That want us to open for them, we'll do it. The only problem is that we'll have to get down the gym for a bit!"
