The cast of Inside No 9 have put a slightly deflated balloon containing the breath of Steve Pemberton up for auction on eBay.

The last episode of the dark anthology series saw a group of people plan to auction off a famous musician's breath caught in a balloon.

Now, actor Pemberton is at the centre of a real eBay listing - titled "A balloon containing the breath of Steve Pemberton" - and he confirmed the item was genuine by posting a video of him blowing up the balloon.

Proceeds from the auction go to the 'Give It Up' fund, part of Sport Relief.

The fund was set up by Russell Brand to help develop abstinence-based community support for people leaving drug and alcohol treatment.

In addition, the auction winner will receive a poster for 'Last Gasp', the episode of Inside No. 9 in which the balloon appears, signed by Pemberton and fellow writer Reece Shearsmith.
