Knowles, 56, agreed to the sale as he is pals with friends of Luca’s mum Teresa.

Luca's mother said: "As Luca grows he needs further tweaking to improve his mobility. Last October, it was confirmed he needed further surgery."

Referring to Knowles' pants, she added "a lot of people were talking about them on I'm a Celebrity... We're hoping they will raise thousands of pounds".
