The 75-year-old singer is to install two male and two female ancient Greek-style sculptures next to his garden pond.

Sir Rod Stewart has been given the go-ahead to build four topless statues by an ornamental pond at his £5million mansion.

The 75-year-old singer and his wife Penny Lancaster are to install two male and two female ancient Greek-style sculptures on the pillars of a portico at their Grade II-listed property in Essex.

The garden makeover will also include a tiered stone water feature at the base of the portico, a small paved seating area and lawn pathways within a walled garden close to the main house.

The plans were submitted to Epping Forest District Council in June and the project has now been granted planning permission by officials after no objections from neighbours were received.

A statement submitted on behalf of Sir Rod and Penny, 49, as part of the application said the couple wanted to create a “classical garden” at their home on the edge of Epping Forest.

Among the stuff heading to the good cause are deisgner shoes and gear - including Gucci heels and Dolce & Gabbana outfits.

And a host fo signed CDs and posters from hubby Rod are also among the kind donation.

She's now encouraging fans to do the same - pointing them in the direction of the BHF's new postal donation service.

Penny was keen to see if trendy “micro pigs” would fit in with the rest of their menagerie.

As she was pictured feeding one alongside her youngest son Aidan she told fans: “We have borrowed two miniature pigs for a trial date.”

After giving the ‘thirsty boys’ some drinking water and letting them forage in the garden, she decided it was time to let them inside the house.

She invited one of the pigs to try out her living room where it appeared to enjoy a pile of Homes and Gardens magazines alongside a caption saying: “It’s a pigs life.”
