Broken camping chair from 'Rate My Takeaway' reaches bids over £50,000
The popular series sees Danny Malin visit takeaways across the UK
Last updated 14th Jan 2022
YouTuber Danny Malin is selling the chair he uses in his 'Rate My Takeaway' show on Ebay, and the top bid sits at over £50,000.
The Barnsley man has become a popular watch on YouTube, after he began filming his reviews of takeaways up and down the UK.
Despite Mr Malin only beginning his channel a year ago, his review videos have now been watched by over 65,000,000 people.
In the videos, the YouTube star usually brings his own pop-up table and camping chair to sample local takeaways, which have since become his trademark.
After his chair broke in a recent video, Danny decided to auction it for charity, with all the proceeds going to a cause chosen by the highest bidder.
With bids currently at over £50,000, it looks like one charity will soon be getting a donation worthy of the size of the portions Danny consumes every episode.
Danny will even deliver the chair in person to the winner if they live in the UK, and they'll also get a signed photo.
The product description on Ebay reads: "ALL of the profit made from this listing will be paid to a charity of YOUR (the winners) choice.
"If the WINNER of this listing resides in the UK then Danny will personally deliver the chair.
"This chair is USED and should not be used to sit on. This chair is for display only."
There's still just over a week until bidding closes, but with over 130 bids already, will Danny's seat be the first £100,000 camping chair?
