Cannot add icloud email to gmail app on android.

[Gandinator]

I want to add my iCloud account (also my Google Account Username) to the Gmail App however when I enter my credentials, the app says that the Username/Password is incorrect even though I am 100% sure it is correct.

I have had my iCloud email on the Gmail App before however I removed it because it kept saying cannot sign in.

NB. I have logged on to iCloud before using the same credentials so the credentials I entered are correct.

Please Help...
Google forums too slow - hope this is better
