Has Alesha really done no training for Red Nose Day climb?

I really liked Alesha when she did strictly, thought she came across so well and i warmed to her completely. However, i have cooled towards her recently as every interview that she's done she says she's not done any training for the Kilimanjaro climb in a few weeks and won't have time to until she goes out there!

I'm not sure whether to believe that she's foolish enough to have genuinely done nothing, or think that she's exaggerating for some reason. I'm sure she's busy but i can't believe that she doesn't have a couple of hours in her whole week where she could go on a treadmill at least.

I don't know why it's bothering me but it is, DH thinks i'm crazy so i thought i'd pitch up on here and see if anyone had any thoughts!!

from what I've seen on the TV in the past, Kilaminjaro is pretty tough- albeit not Everest though - and she is going to look pathetic if she bottles out of it.

i did the same climb with very little training. as did a friends 50 year old dad.
if your relatively active or fit the only thing that's going to get you is the altitude sickness which it's pretty hard to prepare for over here.
