TELEVISION clean-up experts had an uplifting experience when they visited lingerie expert Sadie Ayton yesterday.

Filming a new TV series titled Too Posh to Wash Kim Woodburn and Aggie MacKenzie sought out the services of the woman better known as Sadie the Bra Lady.

But not only did they acquire a new bra for the subject of one of their programmes, Durham resident Osla Henniker-Major, the TV presenters also left Sadie's County Durham store with new underwear.

They took a TV crew to Sadie's Stanley shop to film 23-year-old student Osla being fitted for a new bra.

"Apparently she only owned one bra but now she has a new one from me,'' said Sadie.

Fittingly Sadie selected a 32C from Royal bra makers Rigby and Peller for the aristocratic Miss Henniker-Major, whose grandfather is a peer and father is an Honourable.

The television series will be shown in September.
