- By TOM HORTOPN

Dame Helen Mirren, Liam Gallagher, Simon Pegg and Paloma Faith are among the celebritie­s who have donated items to a charity auction.

Sunglasses worn by Dame Helen and a signed tambourine belonging to former Oasis singer Gallagher will be up for sale as part of Oxfam’s coronaviru­s response appeal.

Cufflinks worn by Star Wars star Pegg to the UK premiere of The Force Awakens and a pair of singer Faith’s shoes will also go under the hammer.

Pegg said: “You can’t beat a set of Star Wars-related cufflinks worn by Unkar Plutt himself – especially ones that raise money for Oxfam – so get bidding to raise funds for people battling coronaviru­s around the world.”

DJ Fatboy Slim has donated an amplifier while Strictly Come Dancing profession­al Katya Jones has donated a silver sequined jumpsuit.

Fee Gilfeather, from Oxfam, said: “Donations like these generate vital funds for Oxfam’s work fighting poverty and helping protect the world’s poorest.”
