THE Big Breakfast was broadcasting live from Clitheroe Auction Mart today.

Roving reporter Richard Bacon set up a stall at the auction mart's annual Easter Monday car boot sale.

He was selling props from the wacky Channel 4 show as well as trying to buy bargains from the other stalls.

Gene Hoyle from Clitheroe Auction Mart said that Channel 4 approached the mart because it holds one of the biggest car boot sales in the country. "Our Easter Monday car boot sale is always popular and it was picked for one of the show's outside broadcast.

"Richard Bacon is selling some Big Breakfast props and pieces from the sets, as well as trying to pick up some bargains from stalls run by local people," said Mr Hoyle.

The television crew arrived at the Ribblesdale Centre in Lincoln Way at about 7am and the sale continues until 4pm.
