Gary Barlow speaks out over malaria

Gary Barlow has seen for himself how the money raised from his charity walk has helped people with malaria.

The Take That star climbed Kilimanjaro with a team of celebrities earlier this year as part of a Comic Relief scheme.

Now, the singer has travelled to Uganda to see the difference that the money raised has made.

He told the Sun that the disease is "devastating", taking the life of a child every 30 seconds.

Barlow said: "I can't begin to imagine what it must feel like to put your children down for the night knowing, by morning, they could have caught the disease that will kill them.

"All it takes to protect them is a simple bed net - and one costs just £5."

Other stars such as Cheryl Cole, Fearne Cotton and Kimberley Walsh also took part in the charity climb earlier this year, raising £3.5 million in the process.
