Gareth Gates will record this year’s Comic Relief single, which will be released in the run up to Red Nose Day on 14 Mar. No decision yet on what the track will be, or whether it will be a cover or an original track. Gates will also take part in Celebrity Driving School as part of the Comic Relief programme.
Elsewhere in the world of pop idols, word is Gates is planning to work out and build up those muscles in a bid to woo some older female fans. He told Sky News "My main aim for the New Year is to work out more. I want to get really big." Apparently his management urged him to work out to further his appeal among record buyers – wonder if they considered releasing a decent record?
