I have recently been getting a lot of telemarketing calls to my mobile phone number. It makes me wonder whether companies are passing on information even when you request it not to be.

I have had calls from all over the world including Nigeria and India. If a UK company is trying to make a sale I do not believe anyone would hand their valuable card details to someone in a different country.

For the simple reason that you just do not know who is listening to the call or who could have possibly hacked into it.

A signed Britney Spears T-shirt is expected to fetch $20,000 at auction.

The garment carries the line ‘I Love You Grandma’ which was scrawled by Britney when she wore it while appearing in ‘The New Mickey Mouse Club’ as a child.

It also features the signatures of her co-stars, Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera.

In total, seven items of Britney’s clothing are being offered to the public by online auctioneers Gotta Have It! but the T-shirt is expected to generate the most interest.

Gotta Have It! owner Ed Kosinski commented: “Something like that has never come up for auction before. We expect it to go for between $15,000 and $20,000.”

The other Britney items - which were provided by Tri Star Sports and Entertainment group on the 26-year-old’s behalf - include costumes from her ‘Drive Me Crazy’ and ‘Oops, I Did it Again’ tours, a blue and white Santa dress she wore in a Christmas Pepsi ad in 2000, and the orange coat and trousers she wore to the Billboard Music Awards earlier that year.

Some of the proceeds will go to charity.
