A notebook containing Hey Jude lyrics donated by ex-Hollyoaks actress Davinia Taylor.
Former 'Hollyoaks' star Davinia Taylor has donated a notebook containing Sir Paul McCartney's handwritten lyrics for 'Hey Jude' to The Beatles Story museum.
The former 'Hollyoaks' star was given the special pad - which belonged to The Beatles' former bodyguard Mal Evans - for her 21st birthday by her dad Alan Murphy.
She explained: "Sotheby's had an auction, dad was at home, a few bottles of wine in and started bidding against an American.
"He won. He said, 'It's not going to America, it's staying in Liverpool."
She revealed her millionaire father paid "something crazy like £100,000" for the notebook, which also contains doodles and poetry by all four band memebrs, including John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.
It also contains snippets of lyrics from 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' and other tracks.
Now, the pad - which was compiled from 1967 to 1968 - is on display at The Beatles Story museum in Liverpool.
Actress Davinia admitted she was "over the moon" to have donated the item, and the museum has insured it for £1 million.
The book is on display opened to show the pages with the 'Hey Jude' lyrics written in red pen. The other pages are displayed digitally on a screen next to the book, so that all the pages can be seen and and flicked through by fans.
Davina commented on parting with the notebook: 'This is a piece of rock'n'roll history which needs to be returned to its home city... to be seen by Beatles fans'.
