Late gran's knickers to be thrown at Tom Jones at Principality ... (WalesOnline)

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 said she wants to assure Tom Jones she has picked her nanny's best pants to throw his way. We had his song Green Green Grass of Home played at her funeral and then when I was writing on her knickers, it came on the radio." When we booked Tom back in December when it was cancelled, I went to her grave and told her all about it. She had lung cancer and she didn't even moan, she took it all in her stride and she passed away in my arms. 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 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.

Kirsty Graham said her late grandmother Helen Gauntlett 'is watching from heaven but left these to throw' at legendary Welsh singer Tom Jones, during a live ...

She was quite particular about her knickers." "I just know that if she was here with us she'd be there, shaking her hips and swinging her knickers and she'd want to throw them at Tom, so that's my aim today. Kirsty was attending the show on Saturday night, at the Principality Stadium along with her fiancé and cousins. She said: "I took all her clothes when she passed and kept them. "I'm not even bothered about the Stereophonics, we're just going down to see Tom for my nan," Kirsty said. She was the best woman who ever lived and I miss her so, so much."

'I know if she was here, she would be swinging her knickers for Tom', her granddaughter said of the unusual but touching tribute.

“Out of all the knickers she had, I had to make sure I picked her best Marks & Spencer ones, otherwise she’d be smacking my bun,” Kirsty said. She added that her nan claimed to know Tom on a more personal level. Helen Gauntlett was a Tom Jones superfan, but sadly never got to see the It’s Not Unusual singer perform live before she passed away in February last year.
