Couple ‘spend £50,000 on Disney memorabilia for Brighton home’

A couple from Brighton have spent about £50,000 on Disney memorabilia to fill every wall, shelf and surface of their home.

Ben Whitmore and Nicky Ewens are such huge fans of the cartoon creator that they have invested in every item possible to show it.

The Metro told how they have splashed out on toy figurines, oven gloves, rain coats, knitted toys and a whole lot more to adorn their abode.

"Collecting Disney memorabilia is so much fun and it takes me right back to my childhood," explained Ms Ewens.

Mr Whitmore added that both of his parents had been into Disney so he was brought up with Mickey Mouse, Snow White and Aladdin close to heart.

There is also the potential to snap up a bargain when collecting Disney items, as Mr Whitmore noted he recently purchased a 1950s Mickey Mouse for just £6, when its worth to a collector is more like £50.
