Cheryl Cole 'Too Ill' To Perform With Gary Barlow At Children In Need Rocks Gig

Cheryl Cole could be forced to cancel her planned duet with Gary Barlow at this week's Children In Need gig after falling ill.

According to the Take That frontman, Cheryl may be "too ill" to perform their duet at the MEN Arena in Manchester on Thursday (November 17).

Speaking about the Girls Aloud star at rehearsals for the charity concert, Barlow told The Mirror: "She's ill. We're waiting to hear. It's meant to be a surprise but that's the plan - if not, I don't know what we're going to do."

The bill also includes Lady Gaga, Coldplay, JLS, Ed Sheeran, JLS, Elbow, N-Dubz, Hugh Laurie and Snow Patrol, and will be hosted by Fearne Cotton, Chris Moyles and David Tennant.

The concert, at the MEN Arena on November 17, has been put together by Take That star Gary Barlow.
