This Morning viewers were left lost for words after the worth of a Simpsons fan’s memorabilia collection was revealed on the ITV show on Friday.
Hosts Dermot O’Leary, 51, and Sian Welby, 38, welcomed money making expert Dan Hatfield to the studio to value some guest’s incredible collectibles.
Glyn from Merthyr Tydfil, Wales, appeared live on the programme via a video link to show off all the items from his collection from the past 40 years.
The cartoon fan gave a very cheeky grin as he displayed some of his collectables, including Frosted Krusty O’s, a life-size figurine of Homer Simpson and loads of branded clothing that the crew have worn over the years.
Dermot confessed that he thought the collection was around £10,000, but he got a total shock when he found out the true value.
Dan said: ‘So Glyn, I reckon your items, all in all, are about £50,000 to £60,000.’

‘The programme has been out for so long it’s just, they’re bringing out new lines every year and it adds it to the collection.
‘I’ve still got beer cans, drinks cans from 1990, I’ve got the advent calendar with the chocolates in it from 1994/1995.’
