Celebrities have gone potty this week designing customised tea pots for charity.

The one-off teapots up for auction, in aid of the Willow Foundation.

One of them has been designed by top chef, Heston Blumenthal, who owns the Fat Duck in Bray.

Fellow chef Gordon Ramsay and comedian Johnny Vegas are also among those who have personally painted and customised a teapot in support of the Willow Foundation"s Piece of Cake campaign.

Run throughout June, Piece of Cake encourages friends, families, and colleagues to hold tea parties to raise money and awareness for the charity which provides special days for seriously ill 16 to 40 year olds throughout the UK.

Bob Wilson, sports presenter, former Arsenal goalkeeper and organiser of Willow Foundation, said: 'Artists and celebrities have got creative to support Piece of Cake and we"re sure that their unique one-off teapots will be a big hit.'

The teapots can be viewed at www.willowfoundation.org.uk/teapots.

The auction runs from until Saturday, July 4, with proceeds going to the Willow

Foundation.
