Abz from 5ive is selling his BRIT Award so he can buy soil

That's probably our favourite headline of the day

Abz Love, formerly of UK boyband sensation 5ive, is selling his BRIT Award on eBay in order to buy some soil. Yes, that is a real sentence. 

Taking to eBay, he asks fans to "take advantage of my poverty" so that he can purchase "topsoil and maybe some garden tools".

With no reserve, the starting price for the trophy for BRIT Awards 2000 Best Pop Newcomer does have some damage. "Has been dropped and knocked a few times and is currently being used as a door stop," reads the description, but on the plus side it "has been held by Jason Statham although I can not prove this."

What are you waiting for? Go buy a piece of pop history. 

Abz has developed quite the greenfinger, since appearing on BBC2's Abz On The Farm - where he moved smallholding in Wales, to adopt a cheaper, more rural lifestyle away from the constant glamour and insanity that he must have been experiencing in London.
