Dirty sock once worn by Michael Jackson sells at auction for an eye-watering sum
A dirty sock once worn by Michael Jackson has raised a staggering £6,600 at an auction in France. The single crystal-encrusted sock was used by the King of Pop at a concert in Nimes, a city in the south of France, in 1997. It was found by a technician after the American's performance and has been preserved for 28 years in a frame. The sock was only expected to fetch between £2,500 to £3,000 at the Nimes auction house, but raked in £6,640 on Wednesday. It was originally white with glittering rhinestones, but they have yellowed as they have aged. Jackson wore white athletic socks during his 1997 HIStory World Tour, which saw him perform 82 concerts in 57 cities across 35 countries. He can be seen wearing the sock in clips of him performing his hit 'Billie Jean'. Aurore Illy, the auctioneer, said: 'It really is an exceptional object – even a cult one for Michael Jackson fans.' Jackson faced allegations of child molestation before he died of an overdose aged 50 in 2009. Nevertheless, his clothing has sold for large sums following his death 16 years ago. In 2009, a casino in the Chinese gambling haven of Macau paid £260,000 for a glittery glove the pop star wore when he performed his first 'moonwalk' dance in 1983. A hat he wore before that show was bought for over £60,000 in a Paris auction in September 2023. Two months later a black and white leather jacket he donned in a Pepsi advert in 1984 went for £250,000. In 2011, the contents of the house he last lived in sold for around £646,000 at an auction in Los Angeles.

Blind date: ‘The karaoke host got the crowd to chant 'kiss, kiss, kiss'. We couldn't let the people down…'
What were you hoping for? At best, to meet my future wife. At worst, free food and a fun story. First impressions? I didn't realise Sabrina Carpenter had dyed her hair brown! Zoe immediately had a warm and lovely energy about her, which helped ease my nerves. What did you talk about? Voice notes, why Normal People should be classified as a horror, and our carefully curated funeral playlists. Most awkward moment? Zoe had a horror run with public transport, so I had a few extra minutes to intensely scrutinise the wine list. Good table manners? Impeccable. Best thing about Zoe? She just radiates positivity, and I got the sense she lights up every room she enters. She can also deliver a killer rendition of Madonna's Like A Prayer. Would you introduce Zoe to your friends? In a heartbeat. Describe Zoe in three words Caring, gorgeous, passionate. What do you think Zoe made of you? Well, she did say Eddie Redmayne should play me in a movie, so I like to think that was a good thing! Or maybe she was just being generous … Did you go on somewhere? We stayed until the restaurant closed, then went on to a pub for karaoke. And … did you kiss? Well, when the karaoke host informed the crowd that it was our first date and then got everyone to chant 'kiss, kiss, kiss', we couldn't let the people down … If you could change one thing about the evening, what would it be? If I have to be extremely picky, it would be the option to have orange wine at the restaurant. Marks out of 10? 10. Would you meet again? Absolutely. Blind date is Saturday's dating column: every week, two strangers are paired up for dinner and drinks, and then spill the beans to us, answering a set of questions. This runs, with a photograph we take of each dater before the date, in Saturday magazine (in the UK) and online at every Saturday. It's been running since 2009 – you can read all about how we put it together questions will I be asked?We ask about age, location, occupation, hobbies, interests and the type of person you are looking to meet. If you do not think these questions cover everything you would like to know, tell us what's on your mind. Can I choose who I match with?No, it's a blind date! But we do ask you a bit about your interests, preferences, etc – the more you tell us, the better the match is likely to be. Can I pick the photograph?No, but don't worry: we'll choose the nicest ones. What personal details will appear?Your first name, job and age. How should I answer?Honestly but respectfully. Be mindful of how it will read to your date, and that Blind date reaches a large audience, in print and online. Will I see the other person's answers?No. We may edit yours and theirs for a range of reasons, including length, and we may ask you for more details. Will you find me The One?We'll try! Marriage! Babies! Can I do it in my home town?Only if it's in the UK. Many of our applicants live in London, but we would love to hear from people living elsewhere. How to applyEmail What were you hoping for? Two words: a boyfriend. First impressions? Super cute. Did he lie about his age though? What's your skincare regime, Alex? What did you talk about? Our hopes for the date (Alex was looking for an outdoorsy golden retriever girly. I was mildly alarmed, as I'm more of an indoor black cat kind of gal). Our dream festival headliners, his frat party days in Colorado, the GC (Gemma Collins). Most awkward moment? The whole crowd cheering 'kiss kiss kiss' after our karaoke performance of the song from Dirty Dancing. Good table manners? Very polite, friendly to the staff, didn't hog a single dish, and kept my wine glass full. Best thing about Alex?Total gent and a great conversationalist. Would you introduce Alex to your friends? Of course! Describe Alex in three words Warm, energetic, spontaneous. What do you think Alex made of you? He gave me 5/5 for karaoke – I've got the X factor, guys! Did you go on somewhere? A pub/drag-karaoke bar where Alex tried his first blackcurrant vodka soda. And … did you kiss? Yes – we pecked on stage after much heckling from the crowd (and queen). If you could change one thing about the evening, what would it be? The temperature – I was boiling. Marks out of 10? 8. Would you meet again? Yes, but maybe more as friends. Zoe and Alex ate at Fire & Wine, London W1. Fancy a blind date? Email
