Lucy Floored By Auction Bid
Footballers’ Wives star Gary Lucy has admitted he has a rug problem he bought £6000 worth of Madonna‘s old carpets by accident.
The actor, who plays striker Kyle Pascoe in the hit football soap, was at an auction when he made the mistake he thought he was buying one of Paul Weller‘s old guitars.
And now, as well as being several thousand pounds poorer, Lucy has realised the Material Girl‘s cast-off floor coverings don’t even fit in with his bachelor pad.
He explained: ‘I ended up bidding over £6000 for some of Madonna‘s old rugs.
‘I actually wanted to buy Weller’s guitar, so when I heard it come up I began bidding.
It wasn’t until they said it was sold that I realised I’d been bidding on totally the wrong thing and had bought the rugs.
They don’t go anywhere in my flat or at my parents’ home, so I’ve had to put them in storage.
I think me and auctions clearly don’t mix.’
