A group of celebrity hikers including singers Gabriella Cilmi and Alexandra Burke became embroiled in a police investigation during their charity trek through Peru after discovering a big bag of cocaine under a rock.

The stars are walking the famous Inca Trail to raise money for a breast cancer charity, but the expedition was halted on Wednesday when TV-presenter-turned-West End actress Denise van Outen stumbled across a hidden drugs stash. Van Outen alerted their security team and called in police, who removed the cocaine, which is believed to have been dropped by smugglers.

Aussie singer Gabriella Cilmi has reached out to Lady Gaga - a year after clashing with the Poker Face hit-maker at the BRIT Awards. The Sweet About Me singer openly criticized Gaga for her skimpy stage outfits and raunchy dance routines at the London ceremony last year.

Cilmi's comments led to her fleeing last year's BRITs to avoid a backstage confrontation with her rival - but she has now insisted her words were taken out of context and she doesn't hate Gaga.

Cilmi tells Scotland's Sunday Mail, "Last year at the BRITs, Lady Gaga came out on a freezing cold day wearing little short...

Aussie pop sensation Gabriella Cilmi has launched a scathing attack on scantily-clad singer Lady Gaga's suggestive stage shows and outfits.

The Sweet About Me hit-maker, 17, is not a fan of the New Yorker's raunchy routines - and is convinced they could even make her ill.

Cilmi says, "I saw this picture of Lady GaGa touching her crotch and I wasn't keen on that. She needs to put some clothes on. Eventually you're just going to catch something and have to go to hospital if you keep walking around in your bra and knickers."
