A dress and scarf designed by Pippa Middleton will join other unique items to be auctioned off for the British Heart Foundation.
A selection of once-in-a-lifetime celebrity lots, from a date with Made In Chelsea’s Ollie Locke to a coat owned by The Saturdays singer Mollie King, will be up for grabs in an online auction ahead of the BHF’s Roll Out The Red fundraising ball.

Other goodies include a Valentine’s weekend for two at Downton Abbey’s Highclere Castle, VIP tickets to a Manchester City match and signed football memorabilia, plus designer treats from Longchamp to Aspinal of London.
Pippa will give the welcome speech at the ball hosted by Natasha Kaplinsky and has also offered up two of the limited edition items she designed for Tabitha Webb.

Mollie, who hosted the successful event last year, said the charity needed as much support as it can get.
“I was honoured to be host last year’s Roll Out The Red Ball in aid of the British Heart Foundation.
“It is such a fantastic charity which is very close to my heart as my grandfather sadly died of heart disease.

“The BHF has already made vital discoveries through research in the prevention and treatment of heart and circulatory conditions but there is still so much work to be done,” she said.
Tickets are still available to the Roll Out The Red fundraising ball that takes place on February 11 at The Savoy, London.
For those who cannot make it, the online auction will be open until midnight of the same evening at www.rolloutauction.com.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
