Mountain-sized fashion blunders for Comic Relief

By Roz Laws on Mar 12, 09 11:08 PM

Well done Ben Shephard for flying the flag - well, the sweatshirt - for Birmingham University.

He wore the Brum Uni item of clothing while climbing Mount Kilimanjaro for Comic Relief.

It was one of the more normal sartorial choices among the celebs who took part, who sported some dodgy outfits.

The BBC1 documentary tonight revealed Alesha Dixon's strange headgear, with her ear muffs, woolly hat and bright pink scarf. It's funny how she took such care over her appearance by putting on lipgloss and masacara, unlike the other female celebs who went make-up free, yet she still sported those items of clothing.

She wasn't the only one. Cheryl Cole's ridiculous oversized sunglasses made her look like a fly.

I was slightly confused by Gary Barlow's comment that he had to take "a short cut" because of his back problems. Hang on, if there's an easier route up the mountain, why don't they all take it? It seemed really hard without making it even more arduous.

Good on them for putting themselves through it, making it to the top and raising such a huge amount for Comic Relief.

They worked a bit harder than the celebs doing The Apprentice, although it was good to see them being set a challenge which wasn't just about who had the richest friends.

It was a shame they were both given real business people to guide them, as it's much funnier if they struggle alone.

Michelle Mone's row with Patsy Palmer really brought out the EastEnder's shrieking Bianca side as she screamed: "Don't ever speak to me like that!"

I reckon Gerald Ratner will be fired, mainly for being such a sore loser - he was so grumpy when the girls won, with their genius sticky suit invention, and refused to applaud them.

The best part of the programme was the fabulous face pulling by Nick and Margaret, not least when Gok Wan suggested taking Nick's clothes off. He probably does look good naked, but that's something I'd rather not see, thanks.
