Ewan McGregor is to take part in a laser-gun fight for charity after a businessman paid £25,000 for the game.

It's not clear who the Star Wars actor will face after Gadget Shop boss Chris Gorman bid the money at a Burns night auction.

The £350,000 raised is going to Children's Hospice Association Scotland and Sargent Cancer Care, says the Daily Record.

Mr Gorman said: "It's not the sort of thing that Ewan normally does but I asked him if he would be up for it and he said yes. I haven't decided on whether it will be the kids or the grown-ups that take him on just yet but I'll be in touch.

''It's a fantastic idea and lovely that the money will be going to charity. We want a re-enactment of Star Wars but this time Obi Wan is going down.''

Comedian Eddie Izzard bid £2,800 for a pair of his 'n' hers kilts, while Scottish tycoon Tom Hunter paid £250,000 for a private Texas gig.

Hunter had set Texas lead singer Sharleen Spiteri a challenge to play at his Scottish Entrepreneurial Exchange Ball later this year.
