TV’S Lorraine Kelly is auctioning off one of her dresses for the Herefordshire charity Little Princess Trust and The Courtyard Centre for the Arts.

Ms Kelly – who is a patron of the Courtyard ¬– has donated a yellow dress that she wore on set to the online auction.

Also up for grabs are a week in a French villa, a box at Royal Ascot and dinner, bed and breakfast at the Castle House Hotel.

The auction will run in conjunction with this month’s charity fashion show at the Hereford theatre.

Lucy Wells, business development manager at The Courtyard, said: “We are really excited about partnering with the Little Princess Trust and are especially grateful to everyone who has generously donated the auction lots”.

Money raised at both the fashion show and the online auction will be split between The Courtyard’s community programmes – such as bringing the arts to the county’s older generation – and the cancer charity.

Little Princess Trust raises money to help provide children fighting cancer across the UK with real-hair wigs.

The online auction can be accessed through this short link online; bit.ly/CYauction and bids will close on Wednesday 10 September.
