Ed Sheeran is auctioning off a number of items - including some "budgy smugglers" as part of a charity fundraiser for a local hospice.

The Castle on the Hill singer has donated 200 different items to help raise money for the St Elizabeth Hospice and Zest, based in Martlesham.

A number of "personal items" have been donated by the singer, with the auction taking place across the first half of June.

The auction house, Bishop & Miller, said the auction came as the "perfect warm-up" ahead of Sheeran's homecoming concerts at Portman Road next month.

Among the other items up for sale include hats, trainers, old guitars and a dressing gown. As well as this, there is also a pair of his own-branded budgy smugglers.

The auction is set to take place from Saturday (May 31st) and will run until June 15th, with proceeds going to the hospice to maintain its upkeep and admin costs.
