TWO of our plucky Bighearted Scotland winners are planning to climb one of the world's highest mountains - and want celebs to join them!

Go-getting gong heroes Ryan McLaughlin and Allan Thomas have asked Ultimo tycoon Michelle Mone and Celtic defender Gary Caldwell to take part in their Comic Relief-style trek up Kilimanjaro.
And the bra queen is said to be "definitely interested" after she and fellow guest Gary met the dynamic duo at our awards bash last week.
Mountaineer Allan, who won the Fundraiser of the Year award, plans to lead the trek next summer - and Ryan 14, is determined to join him.
Allan, 41, of Aberdeen said: "Meeting people like Ryan was really inspiring. We want to raise £100,000."
The salesman, who won our gong for climbing Everest to raise cash for cancer victims, is deciding whether to tackle 19,340ft- tall Kilimanjaro or 15,781ft Mont Blanc in the Alps. He said: "Mont Blanc is technically more difficult, but Kilimanjaro is higher so altitude sickness can be worse."
Allan has invited Michelle and Gary to train on Scotland's hills, along with other Bighearted nominees.
He and Ryan aim to raise cash for the six Bighearted charities as well as their own causes.
Ryan, of Drumchapel, Glasgow - who won Child of the Year for his campaign to help multiple sclerosis sufferers like mum Kirsten, 34 - said: "There will be blisters, sweat and tears but I can do it."
