Anglia Television is making a new series of ITV's Boot Sale Challenge.

And producers swooped on the boot sale in Marks Tey after a last-minute glitch at an alternative location.

Chris Harrington, a boot sale manager for the past ten years, was stunned when he got the call.

Mr Harrington said: "They just called me up. I wasn't expecting them to do Marks Tey and I said it was half-term and so would be very busy. It was very exciting."
