'Kylie's hotpants' dropped from sale
Organisers of a charity auction have been forced to withdraw a pair of hotpants from the sale after earlier saying they had belonged to Kylie Minogue and worn in one of her videos.

The item was taken out of the sale after the organisers admitted they were not certain the pants had ever been worn by the singer.

A spokeswoman said: "We can't verify whether these pants are authentic or not so unfortunately we have had to pull them from the auction."

She said the organisers were now unsure who had donated the hotpants to the auction, which was being held on Thursday at London's Alexandra Palace.
