Former Spice Girl Melanie Brown is holding a New Years Sale for charity.

Fans of the singer can get their hands on a range of items such as her bikini top, tea cups, coasters, curtains, glasses, ornaments, cushions, shoes, bowls, trousers, shirts – almost anything you could wish for.

Proceeds from the sale will go to CLIC Sargent, a charity that aims to provide financial and practical support to families through specialist care in hospital and home.

The auction ends on January 22 and can be accessed here.

And Mel B isn’t the only Spice Girl selling her stuff for charity at the moment: Melanie C is auctioning the shoes she wore at the launch of the Spice Girls reunion tour.

The size 39 black Carvela suede high heels with peep toes come with a signed certificate from the singer: “These shoes were special to me because… I wore them on a very special day, the launch of the Spice Girls re-union tour, they brought me lots of luck.”

Proceeds from the sale will go to the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation, the only charity in the UK wholly dedicated to defeating lung cancer, the biggest cancer killer in the world.

“Dancing has been such a big part of my life, so I jumped at the chance to help De-Feet Lung Cancer,” said Melanie C. “There are so many ways you can get your feet involved in fundraising. So please join me – put your best foot forward and be part of the ‘De-Feet’ fun!”

The auction runs until January 12 and can be accessed through Buy Once Give Twice.

The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation has launched its new fundraising campaign De-Feet Lung Cancer with a fabulous celebrity shoe auction.

It is designed to raise awareness and funds to help the charity in its fight against lung cancer – the biggest cancer killer in the UK.

The De-Feet campaign has been inspired by the charity’s namesake, dancing legend Roy Castle. Celebrities from the worlds of sport, music, film and television have joined together to support the De-Feet campaign by donating a pair of their treasured footwear.

Sir Cliff Richard, personal friend of Roy Castle and Life President of the charity said: “I’ve donated a pair of shoes (hopefully not too smelly!) to be auctioned and I hope there’ll be lots of keen bidders! I would like to encourage everyone to support this important campaign to raise much-needed funds for its life-saving work. De-Feet is a great way to show support for the Foundation’s work – go on, choose your unique pair of celebrity shoes from the auction list, and start bidding!”

Also up for sale are the shoes Daniel Radcliffe wore in the Harry Potter films, the shoes Judi Dench wore in the James Bond films, Lewis Hamilton's shoes from the Monaco Grand Prix, the black suede heels Melanie C wore when the Spice Girls reunion was launched, Robbie Keane and Michael Carrick’s football boots, Andrew Flintoff’s cricket shoes, and many more.

The auction, which launched today and runs until October 3, can be accessed through www.roycastle.org/de-feet. The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation is the only charity in the UK wholly dedicated to defeating lung cancer, the biggest cancer killer in the world.

The native people of North America have a saying: “Before you judge someone, first walk a mile in their moccasins.” Well, now you can, because a group of celebrities are donating their footwear to a special auction to raise money for charity.

The Roy Castle Lung Foundation is launching the auction as part of their De-Feet campaign, which hopes to defeat lung cancer through research and education. And they have already gathered shoes from Harry Potters’ Daniel Radcliffe, James Bond’s Dame Judi Dench, Formula 1’s Lewis Hamilton, the Spice Girls' Melanie C, and Take That's Gary Barlow for the sale.

“I lost my husband, Michael, to lung cancer in 2001, which is why I believe so passionately that this is the way forward,” said Judi Dench. “I am one of the thousands of people affected by this injustice. Please join me in this fight against lung cancer. Together we can make a profound difference.”

Bidding starts on September 12 and can be accessed via De-Feet’s website. Make a bid – it will be good for your sole.
