Kylie hotpants withdrawn

Charity organisers were forced to withdraw a pair of hotpants from auction today after claiming they had belonged to pop princess Kylie Minogue.

Organisers of the Woolworths Kids First charity ball had hoped to raise thousands by selling off the cheeky gold pants they believed Kylie had worn in her Spinning Around video.

But with hours to go before the auction got under way, they admitted the pants in their possession had probably never been worn by the diminutive diva.
