Late gran's knickers to be thrown at stage at Tom Jones concert

The granddaughter of a late Tom Jones superfan will bring her grandmother's knickers to an upcoming concert in the hope they will land on stage with him.

Kirsty Graham from Caerphilly was extremely close with her nanny Helen Gauntlett who died in February 2021 and wants to honour her grandmother by chucking her pants at her all time hero.

The 34-year-old said she dug out a pair of her nanny's best knickers to throw towards the stage when Sir Tom Jones appears for his set, just as Helen would have done. Kirsty wrote on the pants in capital letters: "These are my nan's (clean) knickers. She is watching from heaven but left these to throw at Tom. Get them to him please." She said she also wants to start the hashtag #GetNanasKnickerstoTom to encourage people in the crowd to help her out.
