**Celebrities Binky Felstead, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and YouTube star DanTDM have launched
a mission to raise over £20,000 for Make-A-Wish® UK today, on Giving Tuesday.**

The stars are auctioning their favourite pre-loved items to the highest bidder on
eBay from today until 29 November, with all proceeds going to the charity. The auction
is to mark the release of _Ralph Breaks The Internet_, as well as this year’s Giving
Tuesday.

In the film, _Ralph Breaks the Internet_, main characters Ralph and Vanellope von
Schweetz travel into the internet to find a new steering wheel for Vanellope’s arcade
game and discover one on eBay – but they need to raise $27,001 to buy it.

Inspired by this, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Binky Felstead are auctioning their items
to the highest bidder to raise a similar amount. DanTDM, who also voices eBoy in
the UK version of _Ralph Breaks The Internet_, will be encouraging fans to donate
£1 to [Make-A-Wish^(®)UK](https://www.make-a-wish.org.uk/) on eBay. He will personally
thank everyone who donates by adding their name in the credit roll of one of his
upcoming YouTube videos, to be released on 13 December.

Items include:

 * A one-off, bespoke corset and skirt worn in Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s Get Over Me
   video
 * An embroidered blanket from Binky’s earliest days in Made In Chelsea
 * A dress worn by Binky on her daughter India’s first birthday party
 * Limited-edition t-shirts and posters featuring DanTDM as a Disney character

All items are up for auction at eBay’s [Ralph Breaks the Internet shop](http://www.ebay.co.uk/ralphbreakstheinternet).
