Little Mix asked to climb Mount Kilimanjaro for Comic Relief

Little Mix are among the stars who have been asked to climb Mount Kilimanjaro for Comic Relief next year.
The popular girl group, along with James Corden, Jonathan Ross and Robbie Williams are said to have attracted the attention of BBC producers who are looking for big names to scale the Tanzanian mountain for the charity event.
A source told The Sun’s Bizarre TV column: "The last trip did brilliant numbers, both in terms of viewers and money raised.
"They are now planning another one-off 60-minute special, and are hoping to raise a shed load of money again.
"The plan is to air it around Red Nose Day in March."
Mount Kilimanjaro is the tallest mountain in Africa and stands at 5,895 metres.
Every year around 1,000 people are evacuated from the mountain and approximately 10 deaths are reported, although the actual number of deaths is believed to be three times higher.
In 2009, Gary Barlow, Ronan Keating, Chris Moyles, Ben Shephard, Cheryl, Kimberley Walsh, Denise Van Outen, Fearne Cotton and Alesha Dixon set off to Tanzania to tackle Mount Kilamanjaro with project manager and guide Jeremy Gane of Charity Challenge.
Cheryl, Fearne, Denise and Ben reached the summit first at sunrise.
Then-British Prime Minister Gordon Brown met with the group upon their return to the UK, and said they were "inspiring a generation of kids" with their bravery.
The climb raised an excess of £3.5 million with over £1.8 million coming from the audience of BBC Radio 1 – which was a record for the station.
Comic Relief has raised more than £1 billion since it launched in 1985.
The charity says it uses the money to "tackle the root causes of poverty and social injustice in the UK and across the world".
