An oversized sofa once said to have belonged to Blur singer Damon Albarn is for sale on auction website Ebay.

The 12-piece sofa, in electric blue, apparently occupied the sitting room of the Colchester singer's house in the Ladbroke Grove area of London for five years.

The present owner says he acquired it when he purchased the house from the "indie god".

The sofa is described as being in good condition apart from the covers which are "worn out and stained from use."

However, the listing has failed to result in a flurry of big bids. It has attracted 22 bids since going live on February 6, with the highest just £52. Bidders have until tomorrow evening to better the current price.
