Gary Barlow has started a charity drive with James May and Chris Evans in order to raise funds for Breast Cancer Care.

The group will also be joined by Brian Cox as they journey from Land’s End to John O’Groats.

The journey will be made in a pink Rolls-Royce in a nod to Lady Penelope’s car in Thunderbirds which is sure to enhance Gary’s manly image.

Once they have completed their journey, the car will be available to hire in order to raise even more funds for the charity.

Chris Evans who is currently a DJ on BBC Radio 2 said: "FAB1 Million aims to raise a million pounds for breast cancer - it's as simple as that.

"You can hire the most famous Rolls-Royce in the world as the icing on the cake to whatever special event you are attending or celebrating, knowing that you are donating to a very worthy cause in the process.

"It's a win-win situation."

The group set off today from Cornwall and are expected to reach their destination at around 4.15am tomorrow morning.

They will be stopping at four locations along the way; Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow in order to hold raffles among the public where they can win a ride in the car.
