He was looking for a replacement 'Pup Pirate' blanket, left, possibly for one of his twins, Jay and Rocco (5).

He wrote: "Need help folks! I'm trying to find one of these. It's from Harrod's range 2007. Anyone help? I have tried eBay."

He even offered up his Cuban heels from his stint on Strictly Come Dancing for help.

Throngs of fans got in touch to try to help but Harrod's contacted him directly to tell him they no longer stocked it.

The Beatles started a revolution back in the USSR

If ever a band has been well served by the literary world it's The Beatles. Practically every aspect of that revolutionary body of work has been dealt with in book form... or so one would have thought. From Hunter Davies' The Beatles, through Philip Norman's Shout, Bob Spitz's humongously detailed history and Ian McDonald's brilliant Revolution in the Head, which offered a musical and contextual analysis of every song they ever recorded, surely there's nothing left of interest to diehard fans of the Fabs. Well, think again.
