Following the death of pop superstar George Michael, friends and fans have been sharing stories of his rarely-publicised philanthropy - from a £5k tip to £15k IVF treatment.

He has also helped countless children as a result of his donations to Childline and also supported other organisations including the Terrence Higgins Trust and Macmillan Cancer Support.

Michael, who spoke about losing his partner Anselmo Feleppa to HIV, "personally supported" the Terrence Higgins Trust for "many years", Jane Barron from the organisation said.

"We are so saddened by the loss of George Michael," she added.
