A colourful pullover worn in an iconic scene by late Benidorm star Bobby Knutt has been snapped up for £487 at auction.

Derren Litten, the creator of the series, has flogged some of the costumes worn by cast members.

The sitcom became hugely popular with Brits after it first hit screens in 2007.

And now die-hard fans of the show have got their hands on threads worn by their favourite characters.

A colourful pullover worn by the late Bobby Knutt, who died in 2017, was purchased for £487.

The comedian played Eddie Dawson from series eight to 10.

The iconic ‘Solana’ hotel branded tabard that featured heavily in the sitcom is also heading to a new home after selling for £422.

However an ‘Oracle’ darts top worn by Johnny Vegas playing Geoff Maltby reached over £1,000 in bids before being pulled from the auction.

“Sadly it was withdrawn as someone was bidding and retracting bids 30 or 40 times a day which, although I don’t understand eBay, is a method of bumping other bidders off the auction item,” Derren told Need To Know.

“I will have to find another method of auctioning it.

“The vast majority sold to very happy buyers.”

With rumours of an 11th season on the cards, it appears some of the old costumes may not be reunited with cast members.

The auction was set up by Derren to help raise money for his friend Leonard who is suffering from a rare life-threatening condition known as Facial Fibrous Dysplasia.

The bone disease can lead to blindness, severe facial disfigurement and life-threatening complications if left untreated.

The proceeds from the auction will be donated to the fundraiser to cover medical care and recovery needs.

The bidding went live on Sunday (25 May) and the auction ended on Monday (2 Jun).
