Cheryl Cole suffers on the mountain

Cheryl Cole, along with a whole host of other celebs are currently in the middle of a massive feat - climbing Kilamanjaro, but Cheryl has suffered with terrible illness.

The 25-year-old national sweetheart has climbed nearly 16,000 ft with only 3000 ft left to go but last night suffered an awful bout of what she refers to as 'projectile vomiting'.

She told Radio One this morning that she had been terrified because on the way up the stars had passed a man who was affected by altitude sickness and was now in intensive care. Therefore once her own vomiting began she worried that she could also end up in hospital and would not be able to finish the climb which is for Comic Relief.

However the young star says she had an "injection in my backside", is now feeling better and is more determined than ever to reach the top.

Good luck to Cheryl and the gang.
