London, Mar 2 : Pop star Ronan Keating almost missed the charity mission Kilimanjaro trek after his flight was delayed.

Keating nearly pulled out of his trip when his connecting plane from Dublin, Ireland, was delayed.

"Ronan nearly didn''t make it; it was touch and go,” the Daily Star quoted a spokeswoman for Comic Relief, the charity organizing the trek, as saying.

"His flight from Dublin was delayed and once he did arrive at Heathrow he had to be driven over to the plane. Luckily he was just in time,” he added.

Joining Keating on the trek are celebrities like Cheryl Cole, Gary Barlow and many more. (ANI)
