Earlier this year, she thanked her fans after they raised more than £12,000 for the charity in memory of her long-term partner Ed Rothe.
Sharing the Hospice’s appeal on Twitter, she wrote: “A lovely idea to remember lost loved ones and support a fantastic charity.”
A post about the project on the Wakefield Hospice website says: "For a donation of your choice you will receive a simple wooden template to decorate and a postcard with the name of the person you are remembering.

"Alternatively we can decorate a butterfly for you and include it in the display on your behalf.
"You can dedicate a butterfly whether or not you have a link to the hospice, and if you’ve been bereaved recently or some time ago."
