Why would anyone want Coleen Rooney's dress or Kevin Spacey's suit? We speak to five people who bought a celebrity cast-off
Daniel Hopkins, 39, hairdresser, Brighton: bought Kevin Spacey's suit for £160
I was getting married last September and I'd been looking for a suit for my wedding. I'd been on the hunt for about three months, but I couldn't find anything – you need to get something that's exactly right.

Bret Michaels surprised millions of viewers, turning up on the season-nine finale of "American Idol" to perform "Every Rose Has Its Thorn."
