Of the jewellery, Kiwi Russell, 53, said: “It wasn’t a great gift as it was so expensive she never wanted to wear it much for fear of losing it.”

The 223-piece auction which Russell talked about on Twitter will take place at Sotheby’s, Sydney, on April 7, the pair’s wedding anniversary.

Here are some of the items due to contribute to a £2milion sale.
