Fearne Cotton was treated by medics yesterday after falling ill on her charity mountain trek.

The TV presenter and nine other celebrities are scaling Mount Kilimanjaro for Comic Relief.

But Fearne, 27, gave the group a scare last night when she collapsed with altitude sickness.

‘Bad night in the camp,’ fellow camper Gary Barlow, 38, tells The Sun.

‘Disaster struck in tent six. At midnight we were woken by Fearne calling out for help.

‘She had got up to go to the loo and collapsed on the floor outside from exhaustion and was too weak to move.

Fearne was given an anti-sickness injection but when we woke this morning she still didn’t look good.

‘The medics had to give her a full examination before deciding that she could continue.’

Fearne is now recovering and has joined the others on the latest leg of the trip.

Cheryl Cole
, 25, Kimberley Walsh, 27, Alesha Dixon, 30, and Ronan Keating are just some of the other stars taking part.
