Anonymous donor spends £100k to stop Kelly Clarkson buying Jane Austen's ring
An anonymous donor has given £100,000 (€116,300) to stop Kelly Clarkson from buying a ring once owned by Jane Austen.
The 'Mr. Know It All' singer - who is a self-confessed "history nerd" - could lose out on owning the prized heirloom, which she won at auction in the UK last year, after the Hampshire-based Jane Austen's House Museum received a six-figure donation to help it match her £152,450 bid.
