Six pairs of Ed Sheeran's pants have been put up for sale in a charity auction.

The musician has donated more than 300 items for Zest, a brand launched by Suffolk charity St Elizabeth Hospice.

Fans were able to see about 150 of the personal possessions when they were put on display at his old school, Thomas Mills High, ahead of the sale on 10 November.

The charity said it was "thrilled" with the singer's "generous" donation.

The items will go under the hammer at Bishop & Miller Auctioneers in Stowmarket.

More than £8,000 was recently raised for East Anglia's Children's Hospices when Sheeran donated more than 100 items for an online auction including a drum kit the singer owned as a teenager which went for £2,650.
