Tom's sick of knicker throwing

Tom Jones wants his female fans to stop throwing knickers on stage because it ruins his show.

The 64-year-old Welsh crooner said he enjoyed women hurling panties when he had his first hit 40 years ago - but it had gone beyond a joke.

Jones added: 'The gesture has lost its meaning. If I'm doing a ballad and trying to create a mood, undies appear from nowhere, It's a problem.'
