Emma Willis, Oti Mabuse and Rylan Clark's mountain trek for Red Nose Day has been postponed due to poor weather conditions in the Highlands.The trio have spent the last two days climbing and camping in freezing conditions and had planned to reach the summit of the Cairngorms today - but they have been told it's too dangerous to continue their hike.Winds are reaching 70mph winds with gusts up to 100mph expected at the summit and specialist teams are frantically trying to find a safe route for them to re-attempt their mission.It's hoped they will be able to complete their mission in 24 hours' time - if it is deemed safe to resume.The celebrities set off from the village of Braemar, near Aberdeen, on Wednesday morning and made their way through the foothills of the Southern Cairngorms before setting up camp in windy conditions.Over the last two days, they have battled blustery winds, ice, rain and freezing temperatures in their bid to raise funds for Comic Relief's Red Nose Day.Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two host Clark, 34, admitted that if he was told two days ago they could not get to the summit he would be "delighted", but now they have gotten so close he was "absolutely gutted".He added: "I know it's the right decision but we're gutted.

Even if there's the smallest chance of us being able to carry on tomorrow then I'm staying. I didn't start this challenge to only make it halfway."The Circle presenter Willis, 46, was also frustrated by the situation and said she was determined to see the challenge through to the end if it was at all possible.She said: "I feel like the rug's been pulled from under us.
