For months it was the most famous household item in Britain but now the Big Brother diary room chair could be yours.

The chair is one of 113 lots from the Channel 4 show about to go under the hammer.

Items range from the kitchen bin used as a toilet by contestant Sandy Cummings to the orange sofa on which Jade Goody frolicked with fellow housemates.

The items, which are available for viewing, are being auctioned on the internet by Southern Independent Auctions.

The company, based in Hyde Business Park, Brighton, said its web site had been inundated with hits since it was set up last week, with 17,000 people having visited.

The site will operate until September 30 when the lots will be sold. Auctioneer Simon Morgan said: "We have never dealt with an auction that has attracted so much attention.

"There is a huge variety of items, from carving knives to bigger items such as the chair and sofa."

The items came up for grabs when the series ended in July after the company which loaned them to Channel 4, London-based Aero Living, went into liquidation.

Anyone can view the items at the auction house between 10am and 4pm until Friday.
