David Gest has donated some of his rare Michael Jackson memorabilia to raise money for charity.

The reality star has given up the items, which he collected during his years of friendship with the King of Pop, for an online auction.

The items include a rare signed photo of Michael wearing a veil as well as a signed Thriller record.

David said: “I am delighted to donate this rare Michael Jackson memorabilia from my personal collection to two very worthwhile charities, Liverpool Unites and the Variety Club children’s charity, which I strongly support.

“Liverpool has become a second home to me and my affinity for the people of this illustrious city has only grown stronger during the last three years when I left I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.”

This marks the first time that MTV has ever asked someone to host two consecutive EMAs. Congratulations to Katy! This year’s awards show will take place in Berlin on November 5th. So far, the only performers confirmed for the show are Green Day and Leona Lewis. Who would you like to see perform?
