Colin Firth fans can bid for his wet shirt from Pride and Prejudice
The shirt is expected to fetch up to £10,000 at a charity auction in London today (Tuesday 5th March).
A shirt worn by Colin Firth in an iconic scene from the BBC's 1995 Pride and Prejudice adaptation is going up for auction – one of more than 60 TV and film costumes available at an event in London today (Tuesday 5th March).
The shirt in question featured in the memorable scene that saw Firth's Mr Darcy emerge soaking from a lake, and is expected to fetch as much as £10,000 at the auction.
The lots at the auction also include Madonna's Christian Dior ball gown from Evita, Meryl Streep's dress and cape from The French Lieutenant's Woman, and Johnny Depp's costume from Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow.
Meanwhile, there are also plenty of costumes from a range of popular TV shows, such as Poldark, Peaky Blinders and Downton Abbey, while a separate online auction will run until Sunday 10th March featuring other assorted memorabilia, including a signed script for Love Actually.
