Big Brother fanatics can relive their memories of the latest series by gazing at furniture from the house which is on show in Leigh.

Many of the distinctive chairs have been made unique thanks to the scribblings of contestants and presenters, adding to the value of the seats to be auctioned for charity.

The chairs were loaned to programme maker Endemol by Connections Interiors, in Leigh Road and owner Phil Hunter went to Hertfordshire to reclaim them yesterday.

But before he brought the chairs back he asked for all the housemates to make their mark.

He said: "They have really put a lot of effort into it. I am really pleased."

His said Shell Jubin's drawings and Michelle Bass's pictures of chickens had caught his eye.

The chairs are to be sold in aid of Little Haven Children's Hospice in Thundersley and Fair Havens Hospice, Westcliff.
