The listing, by user blobby01, has attracted much attention after news of it broke. The listing described its condition as “used” and states the outfit is “an original BBC costume from the mid-1990s," Chronicle Live reports.

Carol later said: "I swear I was literally about to get off and run off the set. I am not doing that again."

It continues: “This was made by the BBC’s costume supplier for an overseas version of Noel’s House Party. Unfortunately before it could be delivered the overseas show was cancelled and neither the broadcaster or the BBC’s production team wanted it – so it sat in my office until a move meant it came home with me some years ago.

Denson, a child of the 90s, said he "thought it sounded like fun" and that it "was surreal putting on the suit for the first time."
