After weeks of training, a bunch of well-known celebs including Love Island's Dani Dyer and Little Mix girls Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, have reached the top of Mount Kilimanjaro in aid of Comic Relief.

The group, who have been trekking up the mountain for the past week, climbed 5895 metres, whilst facing altitude sickness, nausea, exhaustion and a massive amount of blisters... but now they've all achieved what they set out to do.

After reaching the summit over the weekend, Little Mix singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock took to her Instagram page to share a very emotional message with fans.

Sharing a number of photos from the trek, Leigh-Anne wrote, 'Climbing Kilimanjaro was the hardest most gruelling thing I’ve ever put my body through but I have to say I have learnt that I am so much stronger than I ever thought I was. I pushed my body to the limit, never gave up and conquered! I feel so privileged to have met such beautiful people that I now see as friends for life. We were a unit and we stuck together and we touched that sign together. A moment i’ll never forget. Now we need to raise a shit load of money for @comicrelief

'I am so proud of what we’ve done, something I know is going to make a massive difference to so many lives! Please please donate what you can link is in Bio ☺️ thank you from the bottom of my heart for everyone’s incredible support ☺️❤️ 📷@chrisjacksongetty #returntokili' sic

Sharing a photo of herself after the climb, Love Island 2018 winner Dani wrote, 'The end of Kilimanjaro. I’ve cried I’ve laughed I’ve met friends for life. What an experience and such a good reason to do it. Don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t want it as a birthday present but it’s a story I can tell my grandkids one day♥️ bring on the shower and a Nando’s because this girl needs it. Thankyou for all the love and support whilst I’ve been away I’ve seriously needed it x

Well done to everybody involved! 💪
