Portrait of Jasper Carrott worth thousands has been accidentally sold for £20

A portrait of legendary comedian Jasper Carrott which the star paid thousands of pounds for has been accidentally sold by a charity shop - for just £20.

The Brummie entertainer commissioned artist Hilary J Baker to produce the etching using his hair, fingerprints, blood and saliva, and paid a hefty some to have it made.

Hilary then donated the piece to Kemp Hospice Charity shop to display for their art trail earlier this month and the 80cm square artwork was emblazoned with a ‘Not For Sale’ sign and hung on the wall of the shop in Bewdley, Worcs.
