She said: "I have two children myself and I was so touched when I saw Jazmine's story in the Mail.
"I just wanted to be able to help her and I thought this would be a good way to do it. I have heard you can get hypothermia from sitting in the beans for too long, bit I will get in my bikini and just try and drink plenty of cups of tea."
