Denise Van Outen Denise Van Outen has spoken out in support of Cheryl Cole.

Or to be more precise, her body weight.

She and Cheryl are training to climb Mount Kilimanjaro together.

They, plus a group of other celebs, including Fearne Cotton and Chris Moyles, are taking on the challenge to raise funds for Comic Relief.

Speaking to Now magazine, Den, 34, said:

"Cheryl's got her own trainer. She's so lovely. It annoys me that people are saying she's too skinny to do the climb.Cheryl Cole

"She's not - she's got a lovely little figure and she'll easily do it."

The blonde presenter, who recently got engaged to her fella Lee Mead, said she was planning to get some nuptial tips from the Girls Aloud star as they tackled the climb together.

"I'm taking my notebook up Kilimanjaro, so if Cheryl's got any wedding ideas, I can make a little note of them," Denise confided.

Trekking up a mountain and wedding planning? That's what we call multi-tasking.
