Prankster uses photo of wife in 'seductive' pose to sell Ikea Billy bookcase but gets big offer for her instead

A mum got the last laugh when her prankster hubby used a photo of her striking a 'seductive' pose against an Ikea bookcase to advertise it for sale - when a cheeky buyer offered £4,000 for her. Jess Lewington, 33, coquettishly lifted her leg and placed it on the oak-coloured 'Billy' bookcase while Matt Lewington tried to get a clear shot of it to flog on Facebook.

After jokingly asking her to move, the furniture business owner finally got the picture of just the item he wanted to include in his listing. But unbeknown to Jess, the 34-year-old prankster uploaded both snaps with the caption "Can be delivered!! P. S my wife thinks this photo will help sell the unit!"

Within hours of the listing going live on a private Facor her insteadebook seller group, the post went viral racking up almost 1,000 likes, shares and comments. Delighted social media users praised the duo for their sense of humour, branding postwoman cum part-time model Jess a 'legend' and thanking them for the 'comedy gold'.
