Cheryl Cole is trading in her life of luxury for a gruelling trek up Mount Kilimanjaro.The singer and her Girls Aloud bandmate Kimberley Walsh are taking part in the eight-day climb up Tanzania to raise money for Comic Relief, every second of which will be child modeling filmed and aired in the run up to Red Nose Day on March 13.
Cheryl, who is in the throes of a vigorous training regime, said: 'I’ve got blisters on every toe of both feet.
'We are used to getting in good shape when we are on tour. The dancing really keeps us fit but this is totally different.
'I sent Kimberley a text the other night after a 12-mile walk on the treadmill. When I went to bed I honestly thought I wouldn’t be able to get up in the morning.'
Kimberley , 27, said: 'The make-up and hair thing's obviously not good. The comfort's good, the clothes are comfy and that's more important.'
Cheryl, 25, dressed in the team uniform of tracksuit bottoms and Red Nose Day T-shirt, added that while she and Walsh may not look glamorous, they
would act as a crutch for one another.'If we didn't have each other I think I'd struggle to get up there,' she said, 'so I think we're at a bit of an advantage having each other.'
The pair are attempting to reach the top of Africa's highest mountain along with Gary Barlow, Alesha Dixon, Ben Shephard, Chris Moyles, Denise Van Outen, Fearne Cotton and Ronan Keating.
The journey is 38-year-old Take That singer Barlow's brainchild, a challenge he said he hoped would "raise a mountain of cash" to provide people in Tanzania with mosquito nets that could protect against fatal malaria-spreading mosquito bites.
It has not been an easy training regime so far as the celebrities try to prepare for Kilimanjaro's crippling altitudes, and some of the team have been working harder than others.
