Pants!

• 10th Feb 2005

The dirty rotter Tom Jones has asked women who come to his concerts to in future remove the price tag before they throw knickers onstage.

Jones, 64, told a female fan at a gig at Las Vegas' Hollywood Theatre, “Luv, you're supposed to remove the price tag before you throw it, otherwise that takes all the fun out of it.”

He has also asked his, now pensioner age fans, to 'please only throw silk panties' as times are hard and he is making a pair of pyjamas out of the collection – 'nylon just doesn't sit comfortably' *

The Welsh singer has just finished a sold-out engagement at Vegas' MGM Grand Hotel.
