Gary Barlow is planning a one-off fundraising extravaganza at Royal Albert Hall.

Chris Martin and Leona Lewis have signed up to play at the charity bash and comedian Peter Kay has agreed to compere.
"Gary's been bitten by the fundraising bug. He was amazed by people's generosity during his Kilimanjaro climb. As soon as he got off the mountain he made the decision to lend his support to more charities," reported The Sun.

The gig, which is due to take place in October, will raise money for Children In Need.

"Take That are going to perform and there will be a whole host of surprises throughout the evening. It is shaping up to be a very special night," added the Sun's source.

The concert is to be filmed and the DVD released later in the year.
