"She has been a huge supporter and advocate of the hospice over the years, and the funds raised from these dresses will help towards providing care and support to our patients and their families.”

Wakefield-born Jane said: “The hospice provides a truly invaluable service to our local community, not only for the patients but also for their friends and families.

"To be able to support such a cause, that is very close to my heart, is a real honour. I hope this donation will go some way to helping raise much needed funding for the hospice.”

The gowns will include a letter of authentication signed by Jane herself.
