LIVERPOOL girl band Atomic Kitten are donating some of their Scouse sparkle to charity.
The girls - Natasha Hamilton, Jenny Frost and Liz McClarnon - have given a diamante-style "love" chain belt to the charity Lepra to auction on the internet.
But they are not the only ones to part with precious jewellery in the name of charity.
Crosby-born Cherie Blair and Sir Paul McCartney's designer daughter Stella are also getting in on the act.
Stella has donated a silver "zip" necklace from her latest jewellery range and the prime minister's wife has given a Charmelle necklace and matching earrings.
The city stars are among 500 celebrities asked to raid their jewellery boxes for a glittering charity auction organised by Lepra, which raises funds for leprosy sufferers.
Natasha said: "We try to support as many charities as possible.
"Leprosy is such a horrendous disease that we didn't hesitate when asked to donate a piece of jewellery.
"We wanted to give something really special and the jewelled belt we donated was a one-off from Mikey.
"We'd been fighting over who was going to wear it because it's so nice! "
The Kittens also supported Lepra last year when they donated signed boots from a video shoot to a celebrity shoe auction.
The Lepra charity funds treatment and relief of leprosy, HIV/Aids, tuberculosis and malaria in the developing world.
A spokesperson for charity said: "We're extremely pleased to have the support of Atomic Kitten, Stella McCartney and Cherie Blair.
"By donating to this appeal they are helping to raise funds for Lepra to help us save lives in the developing world."
Interested people are invited to bid for the jewellery which will be on e-bay from November 5.
