As the talent behind Take That he's the undisputed King of the boybands. So perhaps it was only natural that Gary Barlow's party saw him joined by the Queen of the girlbands.

As the singer celebrated his 10th wedding anniversary to wife Dawn last night he was joined by none other than Cheryl Cole, who led a host of stars helping the couple celebrate.

The event turned into a reunion for Barlow, Cheryl and their Mount Kilimanjaro hiking buddies, who climbed the African mountain last year for Comic Relief.

Her bandmate Kimberley, 28, sparkled in a fitted gold dress and also looked ready to get into the party spirit as she arrived with boyfriend Justin Scott.

Alesha Dixon dazzled in a white tutu-inspired dress and was close to taking Cole's crown as belle of the ball.

The Strictly Come Dancing judge, 31, was another of the nine celebrities who hiked 19,341ft Kilimanjaro last year and helped to raise £1million for the charity.

Gary, 38, married his long-term girlfriend Dawn, who will turn 40 this year, back in 2000.

The pair met in 1995 during Take That's Nobody Else tour where she worked as a backing dancer. They have three children together, Daniel, Emily, and Daisy.

Despite the success of the Kilimanjaro climb, which also included Ronan Keating and Ben Shephard, last year proved tough for Gary.

In October he was left devastated after losing his father Colin, 71, to cancer.
