She said: “I think I’m quite adventurous and I love mountains, but I’ve never done anything like this. Kilimanjaro is quite a feat.
“That kind of pressure and endurance test I’ve never done. The last endurance test I did was probably Strictly.”
The ascent will be filmed for a one-hour documentary to air on BBC One for Comic Relief.
Rani also revealed she means to bring a bottle of chilli sauce on her expedition to make the camp food more palatable.
She said: “I don’t know what we’re going to get fed on that mountain, but everything tastes better with chilli sauce right? So that’s on my rider.”
