Fellow celebrities Cheryl Cole, Chris Moyles, Denise Van Outen, Fearne Cotton, Gary Barlow, Kimberley Walsh and Ronan Keating are now en route to Africa.

The Tanzania High Commission has said the challenge had contributed to tourism growth in Tanzania and increased employment opportunities in the local economy.
