A Londoner is auctioning herself off as a date for Valentine's Day to raise money for charity.
Brave Hope Anscomb is offering would-be suitors the chance to take her out on Friday if they are willing to put their hands in their pockets and bid on online auction site eBay.
The 24-year-old office manager from Bromley, south east London, whose celebrity crushes include actor Channing Tatum and Prince Harry, is hoping to raise £1000 for The Autism Trust by taking part in the blind date.
She has so far received 60 bids and already has a top pledge of £621.
The lucky man or woman will get a free meal at an Italian restaurant in central London, paid for by Ms Anscomb herself.
She said: "I am actually getting quite nervous. I have no expectations.
"When I spoke to my friends and family they said I was insane."
When asked whether she was looking for love, she said: "My main purpose is to raise money for charity. If I meet someone special then that is a bonus.
"My ideal date would be with someone who can make me laugh."
The date is one of a series of challenges which the serial fundraiser has set herself since September.
In November she donned a fake moustache for a whole month in support of Movember, which raises money for prostate and testicular cancer.
Her latest charitable effort will see her donate funds to people living with autism.
She said: "So many people do not know anything about [autism]. Because sufferers don't have any obvious physical symptoms, people often assume they are badly behaved or have had bad parenting.
"[The Autism Trust] focuses on helping young adults - there is very little support for them."
