Online shopping has many benefits, from endless choices to quick delivery, but sometimes it doesn't always go quite right as comedian Darren Harriott found out. The star, who is currently taking part in ITV1's Dancing on Ice, did not receive the product he ordered.
Posting to his Instagram stories Darren explained that he had ordered a "new usb microphone" for £60 but actually ended up receiving a totally different product. The comedian was sent a huge toy combine harvester.
He posted a picture of the toy onto his Instagram story and said: "I actually find it pretty funny. Even the child of a farmer wouldn't enjoy this toy."
