Trinny and Susannah sign the Big Build T-Shirt
They got behind the drive to raise £8million for a new, state-of-the-art facility to care for terminally ill patients and their families at Stobhill Hospital when they visited Glasgow as part of a book tour last week.
And the jumped at the chance to add their signatures to our special T-shirt.
Actor Billy Boyd and singer Paolo Nutini are among those who have already signed it.
Trinny and Susannah's support for our appeal was echoed by fellow fashion guru Gok Wan. The How To Look Good Naked presenter also signed the T-shirt during a whistlestop tour last week.
Trinny said: "I think hospices are fantastic things. A friend of mine does a lot of work with them and it's inspiring."

Susannah added: "I would support it a 100%. It's invaluable."
Trinny and Susannah's support comes after Dragon's Den star Duncan Bannatyne lent his support to the Big Build when he attended the Brain Game, a glittering fundraising event for the Big Build held earlier this month. The event raised more than £40,000.
The 30-year-old hospice is in desperate need of replacement.
A new facility will cost £16m to build - half of which has already been raised.
The Big Build appeal, which was launched in April, is aiming to raise the remaining £8m.
The new hospice, which will care for people over the age of 18 with cancer and other terminal illnesses, will offer unrivalled levels of comfort for patients and their families.
Unlike the current hospice, the new modern building will offer individual rooms with en-suite bathrooms, piped oxygen and easier outside access.
Since we helped launch the appeal in April, firms, community groups and individuals have dug deep in their pockets to raise more than £1.5m.
But £6.5m is still to be raised to build the new centre.
