Alan Carr doesn't want them, do you? Contents of comedian's castle to be sold

The auction will take place at Ayton Castle on Sunday 5 July - with viewing on the Friday and the Saturday beforehand. Tickets are required for both the viewing and the auction itself. Jim Railton, of the auctioneers Railtons, explained: "Basically it's the residual contents of Ayton Castle. "Alan Carr, as we know, has bought the castle and he's bought a certain amount of the furnishings. "But the residual items that he doesn't want - and that the last owners of the castle don't want to take to their new house - we're selling."
