The granddaughter of a late Tom Jones superfan will bring her kickers to Saturday's concert in Cardiff 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 wanted to bring her along to the gig in spirit.
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.
In a Facebook post, she urged anyone in front of her to "pass them as far down the front as possible", writing: "I know if she was here, she would be swinging her knickers for Tom ... she loved him and snogged him in a phone box in Ponty when she was 14."
