Gary Barlow is teaming up with James May and Chris Evans on a charity drive which starts today (April 18), in aid of Breast Cancer Care.
The Take That singer and radio presenter will be joined by TV scientist Brian Cox and Top Gear presenter James May on their drive from Land's End to John O'Groats.
The group will be travelling in a pink Rolls-Royce, with the license plate FAB1 in reference to Lady Penelope's car in Thunderbirds. Once the four have completed their trip the car will be available to hire to raise further funds for the charity.
BBC Radio 2 DJ Evans summed the drive up saying, "FAB1 Million aims to raise a million pounds for breast cancer - it's as simple as that.
"You can hire the most famous Rolls-Royce in the world as the icing on the cake to whatever special event you are attending or celebrating, knowing that you are donating to a very worthy cause in the process.
"It's a win-win situation."
The group were scheduled to set off at around 10am this morning in west Cornwall, following the end of Evans' breakfast radio show. They're expected to arrive in Scotland at around 4.15am tomorrow morning.

Samia al Qadhi, chief executive at Breast Cancer Care, said; "FAB1 Million is an incredibly exciting project and we're grateful to everyone involved in making Chris Evans' brilliant idea come to life.
"We can't wait to see the FAB1 Rolls-Royce on the road and raising funds to ensure that no-one faces breast cancer alone."
The four will stop in Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow to raise awareness along the way. At each stop memebers of the public will have the chance to enter a raffle to win a ride in the car.
